[quote=Anonymous]I agree that I would prefer to meet the parents first but texting with the mother will likely be fine. If it were my child, I would give her the option of bailing if she feels uncomfortable for any reason. Go over your expectations. My 6th grader thinks I am nuts because I always go through the litany of things that, statistically speaking, may happen before she finishes middle school, ie she will be offered alcohol, drugs, vapes etc at a gathering. While not as likely if you have vetted the family and child, emphasize safety first and no questions asked until your child arrives at home. Let her know she can call or text on her own device (if she has one) or go speak to the parent to get a device if she wants to come home. Show your child you trust her to use good judgment and you may be surprised.

Middle school girls most likey will do these types of dumb things --selfies posted on social media, chatting with boys from school, prank calls etc. Painting nails and gossip also may happen but, yes, I do know older middle schoolers especially get into things.

Good luck!
