I am consternating so I thought I'd fish for opinions....
14 yo DD completes 8th grade this week. Brief snapshot: So far, somewhat an introvert. Has a girl or two she sits with at school lunch - but almost no "friends" get togethers, etc. But very happy to go to school, seems happy upon return. Overall very nice girl - starting to hear a bit of snark and hormone stuff - but very very nice girl and person so far.
So far for summer she's voluntarily signed up for a 1 week art class, she enjoys that. BUT - part of me wonders if I shouldn't be putting her in other stuff this summer be it singing, drama, math, computers, whatever. Part of me wants to do it....BUT based on her performance I'm wondering if few months of vegging it out might be ok too.
She had multiple Honors Classes in 8th grade. ALL teachers give great reviews, grades are A's and high B's. Athletically she does karate class 2 times per week.
I am thinking of putting her in one-week class - could be math, could be creative writing - something.
Is it ok to just let her veg out and do nothing?
