Thank you so much. We are in the thick of middle school and gtrrrrrgghhhh. I have to admit to cringing when I watch DD interact with teachers and other adults because she is awkward, shy, and just weird, but I also noticed many other kids are the same (though a percentage are poised and articulate, which always makes me worry). However, she does continue to excel in most of the time with occasional WTF moments. Band is really motivating her, too, and I'm sending her to a CIT camp this summer. She is actually incredible with younger kids as long as it's not her brother.
