Middle School Years Time Of Tumult And Change.(Brief Article)
2001 SEP 20 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) --
The following statement was issued by Carol A. Forster, MD, Permanente pediatrician:
The back-to-school rush is on. It's time for shopping sprees for school supplies and polishing summer assignments. Anticipation is especially rampant for those tweens (preteens caught between childhood and adolescence) about to enter middle school.
New middle schoolers are taking on both more freedom and more responsibility. At the same time, they are undergoing tremendous emotional, social and physical changes. In fact the fastest and most dramatic change of life occurs when a child enters puberty. Aging happens slowly, but puberty comes on with such suddenness that it often catches preteens and parents unaware. In just a few months, your son or daughter is a child no longer, and you will be searching for answers to the familiar question, "Where did my baby go?"
Children do not all mature at the same rate. While most will experience dramatic changes in their middle school years, early bloomers may start seeing changes as early as eight or nine years of age.
Middle schoolers will begin to push themselves out of the family nest. Parents have the power to make their transition easier as well as less painful and risky. Here's how:
* Get informed. If you know what to expect, it won't take you by surprise. Excellent books, classes and educational materials for preteens and parents are available. Understanding the physical and psychological stages of puberty will make it much easier to deal with the changes occurring in your son or daughter.
