[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 457399, member: 4040"] Sending my extra armor...I remember a similar battle. I had recently heard Rick Lavoie speak, and the statement that stood out most clearly for me was that, as parents, we needed to prepare the child for the situation and the situation for the child. So when she started junior high, I asked Hubby to walk her schedule with her before school started, pointing out things like restrooms, cafeteria, library, etc. He and I both went there, so it wasn't that difficult a task, but he wasn't working and I was. Yell, scream, fuss, pitch a fit, it was JUST TOOOOOOO EMBAAAAAAARASSSSSING...and then, Miss KT discovered that a lot of her friends were nervous about finding their way around. Suddenly, life was beautiful because Miss KT had a guide who would help them. I think he had a group of six or eight 12 year olds following along. He walked everyone's schedule with them, and everyone was happy because they wouldn't look like "stupid seventh graders" since they knew where to go. [/QUOTE]
