1. Describe any physical or behavioral signs of incipient puberty.
Isabelle is starting to get her “woman shape” and has gained a little weight, she thinks she is “fat” and gets moody sometimes. Lol I remember those days….
2. How would you characterize your child at this point in terms of the under-controlled, over-controlled or resilient categories? Have there been any changes since the preschool period and why might they have occurred?
Isabelle seems to be resilient for the most part she is getting good grades gets along with friends for the most part. I think she has gotten better from the tie she was in preschool. She demonstrates the ability to pay attention in class and follow the rules better. She is excelling in school now and doing really well in art.
3. Using the 7th grade report card and your own observations, summarize your child’s academic skills at this point. What specific activities might promote some of these skills?
Her 7th grade report card was good; she is excelling in everything except she needs to improve her time management skills. I have set up a planner for her to organize her day so she can get all her homework done and chores before playing. She is doing really well and is involved in sports like softball and likes to play basketball with friends.

My Katie Anne has trouble with time management, too. I think that it is more an age thing at this stage in development. There aren't many 13 year olds who know how to manage time well. Come to think of it - there are still 33 year old who don't manage time well.
Hi,
Mars is also doing very well in art, but he still has some problem with spelling and language. I wonder if that’s more of a boy thing, but overall he is doing great so I am not too worried.
Good Job!
I think all teenagers can improve their time management skills. They mostly care about hanging out with friends. Interesting that your girl is becoming aware of her body. My boy doesn't even seem to notice his.
