[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand the “stay kids longer” thread on here. Kids hit puberty at way different times. For some kids, I can see “staying a kid longer” but the kids who are shaving and menstruating by 7th grade are just no longer kids. They want different things entirely. Keeping them kids longer is absolutely the opposite of what they want. [/quote] It has nothing to do with puberty, that's nuts. Sixth graders who have hit puberty (which is most, IME) are not adults or even young adults. They're kids. They need to play and be silly. They need appropriate scaffolding for academic and study skills. [/quote] I don't know how much puberty has to do with it at all. I started puberty way earlier than 6th grade and I felt like and was a kid way longer than it seems like alot of kids. I think it's way more outside influences thar contribute to it and yes MS too.[/quote]
