I would, tbh, I expect her to create a basic profile cos otherwise she can't follow what the school/prefects put online. I would however remind her what she puts online could be there forever. Although at this stage can't imagine she would want to put herself online at a personal level...

No unfortunately, I will still disagree on the social media, it's not that she doesn't access youtube/insta even facebook pages for info, but I don't think she needs an "online presence" at this age and she has never shown a want for it either. She already has plenty of distractions being part...

Thanks! for your response, yes I make sure both my kids know WHY all the time, I always check and ask them to reiterate any unpleasant teaching moments. I also try not to make their lives too difficult and say NO just cos it's fun as a parent to rule them all. So I do give reasons when I forbid...

Thanks, yes personally liked both these shows too...I'll try them on her.

Ok then, I'll just let it happen organically, I just didn't want her to start yr 7 and be overwhelmed, she's currently in a small school and her tiny group of friends are very similar. She's very trusting of me and I don't want to fail her by restricting too much and then she's known as that...

I dunno what's normal. I just dont want my 11yo kid putting herself on tiktok/insta/fb like some needy attn seeking tween for likes. And she doesnt watch things that are too mature - it doesnt mean she doesnt watch a lot of age appropriate stuff. Nor does she jam to cardi b's award winning wap...

Well that's what I mean, in my mind, it's "some"day so you're telling me that day is...nowish am i right? So, if my kid starts yr 7 all G rated and I don't mean wuddup g, she gonna be ridiculed cos she's all rainbows and butterlies rn. I don't put stress on her...I try to take it all, hence the...

Wait...did you just say, I'm worrying too much followed by yr 7s DO KNOW a lot these days!?? or u accidentally left out a NOT.....I was relieved until I reread your response.

Hey all, rather than replying individually and spamming just wanted to bulk thank everyone for your responses, all of it is super relevant to me cos I have no idea whether she's gonna float or sink. Thanks for your reassurance! Since you all seem very legit and I really want to utilize all of...

I'm hoping you mean this for only yr11-12 right? because there's no way to know what she wants to do rn. I agree, with definitely staying on top of maths and writing, so I'm guessing once the year starts and if she seems to be miles behind already then I would consider tutoring in those areas...

lol thanks, legit just trying to give mine what I never had haha. So from what you're saying - no tutoring y7-10 unless her marks plummet and tutoring (youtube) in 11-12 if she's trash by then, but make it count! Thanks and good luck for the year ahead btw! I'll insert the generic naplan letter...

Thanks, I don't usually tell her what to do, just sometimes suggests she studies if she has an exam next week etc but the force of Among Us is strong with this one, so sometimes she might need a strongly worded suggestion :/ She wants to do extra curricular - clubs, sports, arts, drama...

Thank you for your responses, it is much appreciated. My daughter plans to do as much cocurricular as she can fit into her sched next year, I've always encouraged her to step outside her comfort zone. Next year, I'm expecting her to drop her rank down to average so she can enjoy making new...

Hi everyone, concerned parent here, have a kid starting in one of the top 10 ss next year, come from no tutoring/planning, direct cut to tl;dr - did the sst for the feels. ANYWAY, so I am legit freaking out because she has decided to go to the one school we put down and the thought of my kid...
