After wondering which way DD would fall off the balance beam in 7th and 8th grade, due to social pressures and regular adolescent stuff, she chose not to join the party group. But also, she really got into logic puzzles, super applying herself with science and math, curiousity expanding. After watching the Cicada docu she was researching. A lot of little things, but she is choosing the work, rather than the play, which seems to be big at this age. I feel a big exhale. Just wondered what others experienced at this critical age of entering the teens.
