[QUOTE="lovingmum96, post: 361521"] Hello, I'm new here and while I don't have a clue about medications etc (sorry), I can offer encouragement; as an educator I really feel empathy for middle schoolers. There is usually a distinct change in behavior accompanying a growth spurt. The hormones aren't measured exactly :) and kids don't know how to effectively handle new emotions (or know where their bodies start and end -- their sense of proprioception is off....so they get clumsy). I have two adolescents at home who are handling these changes completely differently. My heart really goes out to these kids -- they are physically big and emerging as adults, but their needs and wants are still very kiddish -- The good news is that this seems to come in waves -- big changes start around 6th grade tapering off at the end of 8th grade, then start up again around 10th grade. My 13 year old seems to be at the end of some changes. Good thoughts to you -- [/QUOTE]
