The New Middle Schooler

This morning when I dropped off P at school, could not help but notice the tall, very-grown-up-looking 8th grader walking behind her. Such a difference in height/looks/maturity!

The headline on this Associated Press story says it all and is so relevant to my own experience right now: From Big 5th Grader to Pip-Squeak Sixth Grader.

So many transitions with homework and time management. As this article suggests, I am looking for ways to empower P to get organized and create good study habits on her own. Any tips out there from middle school parents who have succeeded in that?
