Tween Chronicles: Graduation and Middle School

It has been a moment since my last post in Tween Chronicles.    Life is just moving at warp speed and I cannot keep up with a blogging schedule capture all of the events and challenges.    It was June before I knew it and before I realized  the day, it was graduation. photo (23)Graduation, summer, camp and start of 7th grade.  I have no idea where the time goes and with each passing year I question what is the right for my tween boy.   It never dawned on me that tween boys require so much guidance and direction.   On some days I really do not feel equip for the challenges of raising a tween boy in this sometimes scary world.   How do you protect your children from this evolving universe? I wish I had a formula for that question and a clear solution.  The challenges of shielding your tween from social media is in itself a full-time job.   I love technology but there are days when I would like to toss the gadgets out of a window.

One shining moment from the beginning of the school year is having my tween join a soccer league.  In spite of it being years since he played, he fell right in with the other tweens/teens.   It proved you are never too old to revisit any idea!   My tween was amazed at how the other tweens/teens were really supportive of one another.    I was happy he saw a different perspective of his peers.   Some of the past three years have shed a different light on forging friendships.  Here’s to the success of soccer!

My next thought  is considering a military academy.   Stay tuned for those developments.
