YOUR JUNIOR MAY IMPRESS YOU.
The rapid influx of hormones has regulated, the fight for peer acceptance has subsided, and the inentsity of conflict over independence... well, they've worn you down. You may begin to see glimpses of rationality as your junior finds their voice, fills their calendar, and accomplishes some surprising things.
"ACCOMPLISH" IS THE WORD FOR THIS PHASE.
Juniors often take on AP courses, volunteer activities, leadership roles, SAT prep, or an internship. Whether your teen is caught up in the rase to win, or simply trying to survive, junior year is filled with pressure. Navigating all of this pressure is your junior's major accomplishment.
IT CAN BE HARD TO KEEP UP.
Actually, they don't expect you to keep up. What they really want is for you to trust them. After all, they will be out of the house soon, and you will have to trust them anyway. Let this be a practice year for both of you. Help them prove the ways they can be trusted, choose your battles wisely, and parent them in the areas that seem to be most challenging for them personally.
