[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Switching schools is tough. If he has good friends, then I wouldn't move him. [b]My DS is about to turn 12, and I think kids are just hard on themselves at this age, noticing others, and comparing themselves. I just remind my son that everyone has different strengths.[/quote][/b] This is very good advice. Even the kids who seem completely sure of themselves find puberty and middle school years a challenge. There is no way around it. And as long as he has friends and seems happy, moving him because he's not a standout at something at 12 sends the wrong message. [/quote] It's also worth noting that even the kids who act super confident have the same insecure feelings you're feeling (some of the time). No one is immune to feeling out of place and comparing. It's a negative thought you should note and move on from quickly if you can.[/quote] good advice[/quote]
