[s-cars] Daughters....

[Lewis Consulting]

Steve and Wylie,

 

Get those hugs in while you can.. They do tend to drop off, at least for
some girls.  I have only one, she is 16.6.. I use fractions now, makes
maturity seem closer.  She is a great kid, 82 average in grade 11 but
emotional -  that will be the biggest challenge . the roller coaster of
emotions.  Everything is an extreme, I am sure some girls are not like this,
but ours is.perhaps being an only child does not help.  I think a good kid
will generally be a good kid, friends can make a big difference.  We chose a
private school for high school (ouch), but worth it as there seems to be a
little more positive attitude and serious approach to school.  I think kids
realize that parents may have to make a sacrifice to pay tuition, so they
are sensitive to that and work hard. at least our daughter does and so do
her friends.  

 

As for driving.. It is a little scary, she doesn't have her license yet, but
getting close to taking her test.
