Top Signs of Trouble in Seventh Grade

Your seventh-grader is entering a period of change on all fronts. He is on the threshold of becoming a teenager, trying to determine who he is and what he can do separately from you. To navigate this year successfully, your child must learn how to balance academics and social life and how to have confidence in his academic abilities. Your child will have trouble if he's not able to:

Establish a feeling of belonging within a group.

Appreciate his own individuality.

Avoid risk-taking behaviors.

Complete and turn in all assignments in a timely fashion.

Accept responsibility.
