Upon entering sixth grade, my daughter now cares about friends. She was in many groups and had friends, but really did not connect when she was young. Now, this is very important for her. This is a total change at eleven. She is still an exceptional student and in accelerated classes. She focuses quite a bit of time on band (her new passion).
She is already young (with a June birthday), but she is turning into a teen and very interested in this process. It is strange to see such "normalcy" in her and she probably has done way more reading on the subject than other girls in her grade level.
