Middle School Superpowers: Raising Resilient Tweens in Turbulent Times

Reading about middle school takes me back to my experiences. It cant be that bad right. We all have the experience of being through it.

Thinking through, before saying something.

When someone shares an information that they took some very many tablets and you dont know its significance. How was I supposed to know, I am not a kid of a pharmacist.

What is your middle school origin story?

We went to a function/celebraiton and were offered dinner for courtesy sake. I said we just ate which was not entirely false but I might have been hungry too as all kids always. Worse I made my siblings believe or stick to the same. It reminds me of a story in non detailed English where a younger sibling is allowed to follow the elder sister to the birthday only if he doesnt embarass the sister and has to say no atleast three times when he is offered the cake, before he can have the cake. The kid says no thrice all at once. 

More than just say no

"He answered right back. He always answered quickly. It seemed impossible to propose any subject to him that he had not thought about before you had. He kept his writers at the far ends of something like bicycle spokes - all separate, all somehow spinning together and apart, with him in the center - and when he turned down an idea he was usually protecting the interests of some writer whose name would never be mentioned" - John McPhee, Oranges.
