Gotta watch out for us independent thinkers, we aim to take over the world! Or at least our corner of it. :)
The transition to middle school was a nightmare for us. He went to school less and less and less. Too many stomach aches. And then one day he had a panic attack right in front of me. My oldest has diabetes and I've seen reactions from low blood sugar -- this was just as super-scary. I thought the kid was going to pass out. Our middle schools are 6,7,8th grades. I'm hoping the transition to high school in the fall is no where near as traumatic for him (or me!)
One of my friends has a very high energy, intense daughter. She started her in Tennis and it has been a life saver. My middle son plays too and it is a great sport for getting worn out completely and you get to smack the sh** out of ball so you feel very, very satisfied. Good stress release. You might try it.
