[quote=Anonymous]My DD definitely struggled socially and emotionally in 6th grade, even though they spent a lot of time on social-emotional development at her independent school. Puberty and recognizing the potential objectification of herself, shifting social dynamics, increased materialism and technology (who-has-what, limits or lack thereof of peers, pushing boundaries self-advocating for more screen time etc.) were all factors. Increased academic rigor and opportunities for growth through ECs both inside and outside of school as well as sleepaway camp have been great for her to develop several new friends. She has retained some old friends and just realized she needed to let others go as they are in different places. I am hoping 7th grade will be less rocky but also know that a tremendous amount of growth and maturation is happening and sometimes that only comes through experiencing some challenging situations.
