How do I know what is expected in Middle School?
YOUR child is going from dependent on YOU to becoming Independent and a young adult. And it is your job to help this child you have created. Do your research beyond this blog to see what your child is going to have to deal with in Middle School. This child is going to have to come up against many different social-economic groups in Middle School. But there are lots of elementary schools that feed into your child’s middle school.
They are going to come in contact with children that have not had good parenting. And they are going to come into contact with children who are already into alcohol, drugs and already having sex.
Are your children ready for this? Can they make good decisions and say NO? They need to have their toolbox ready. And their Code already in place. You are in charge of seeing that they can protect themselves from these bad behaviors and negative people. And prepare them with their own toolbox and a Code to live by. But here are enough posts on the website to help you build a Toolbox just for your child.
Know what teachers they will have and what subject they have to take. If they need a tutor, get that lined up. Read any book on being in Middle School for today’s children. It is very different than when you went to middle school. They need help to navigate Middle School. And they need to be confident and courageous to be their own person. They need to not be bullied or be a bully. Girls are bullies also so be careful. Middle School is one of the most difficult times for becoming an adult. Help your child.
