[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You do you. Smothering? No, definitely not. I have attended enough expert seminars on this stuff from when I worked more with this age group. Wise parenting? Absolutely. Middle schoolers sometimes have worse judgements than their younger peers due to peer pressure and hormones. Plus, any decision about a kid has to take into account things like impulsivity, past history, emotional development level, etc.

My son was entering sophomore year of HS the summer he was 14 - not in middle school. OP didn't mention whether we are talking about a redshirted 8th grader, a HS frewshman, or a HS sophomore who will be 15 next month.   I would probably give them different curfews.

It's important to know where your kid is and what they're up to, but I don't think there is any specific curfew that's right for every kid and family.   [/quote]

My kid turned 14 two months into 8th grade. She was not redshirted. [/quote]

Then what happended so that she was 6 the same September she started kindergarten?[/quote]

Are you from around here? The local K cut offs are 5 by 9/1 and 9/30. If you are not 5 on 9/1 or 9/30, then you cannot go to school that year; so when school starts next year, you turn 6 at the beginning of K; which means you turn 14 at the beginning of 8th grade. All Fall birthday kids turn 14 at the beginning of 8th. The youngest kid in any class based on straight cut offs here is the kid who turns 5 on 9/29 (and isn't held back), and that kid will turn 14 the day before starting 9th. To turn 14 the summer before 10th grade means you started K a year early right after turning 4.[/quote]
