she was telling how cute my great grandson is now. He is in kindergarten and she says he is so cute with his backpack and bringing home homework. Ahhh! I remember when she was that age. She didn't have to go to kindergarten. She was given a test to see if she needed to and she scored clear off of the graph. She was also in the Gifted and Talented class while in grade school. She was a great kid up until she was about 13 or so. She is bi-polar and had behavioral issues. And I had guardianship of her. How about you? You have good kids who suddenly with teen age they changed on you? Or have they been about the same all through the years?

I think I'm in this category! LOL!
Started really early in school, I was four then. Went through grades 4, 5, and 6 in two years. Was 10 years old when I started in high school. Graduated from college when I was only 18 years old.
I was getting into trouble in high school and college but still managed to graduate on time.

I don't have any kids yet but I know that I'll never leave my kid's side no matter what they become when teens. Their age doesn't matter, you are always the guardian. You always have to be there to show the way of right and wrong and be their pillar for support.

My son is a saint considering his health conditions.
He has never given me any trouble or got in trouble either.

@Marcyaz It is a blessing Marcy..and I am not bragging about it because anyone can be in the wrong place at the wrong time, so I just consider it also the grace of God.

@LadyDuck ...My daughter is bi-polar. She was misdiagnosed. But when she was finally diagnosed correctly and found the right meds she is fine now.

Our son is on the autistic spectrum and had a terrible time at school, mostly because the staff did not have the skills to cope with someone who did not fit the mould. As a result he had precious little education from school but a great deal from what he picked up for himself from books and the Internet.
He is now 22, does not have a single paper qualification despite his high intelligence, but has turned out just fine as a human being. I'm sure that he will make a success of his life just as long as people are prepared to let him do things his way.
School just doesn't work for some people, and it is a mistake for governments to think that it does.

@Marcyaz ....My GS is ODD and has been in a special class in school since about the 3rd grade. He is doing well. Don't they have such programs where you are?

OH boy yes, My daughter was an angel up to 13 when she suddenly became a hells angel and then by 19 returned to being an angel again! You could set your diary by her monthly moods and strops. She is now thankfully a wonderful and beautiful person with her own children and I can see the same behaviour in her own daughter! Haha history repeating itself!
