Daughter says she wants to go back to school

At this age, especially for girls, children are obsessed with other kids view of them because they are forming their identities. But think back to your middle school years, for many students, it is the most difficult time of childhood because they are hyper-focused on "fitting in". It is far healthier that your daughter is forming friendships based on mutual interest vs who is popular or not at school. Most kids friends change drastically and sometimes painfully from middle school to high school as they form their identities. Have your older daughter share her experiences in middle school and explain how much things change between now and high school.
GOOD LUCK!
