husband and I remind each other of this fact as presently, our girls clamor for our atten- tion one hundred percentof the time. Some parents say they can’t wait for their teen to return to school because they didn’t have a summer job and spent way too much time in front of the computer or TV. Not follow- ing curfew rules and a general bad attitude were also a complaint. (Remembering my own rebellious adolescent years, I’m sure there were some summers that my own par- ents couldn’t wait for September to arrive). Still, other parents’ responses were just the opposite, saying they looked forward to having their teen home for summer vaca- tion and that they valued the time to recon- nect after a busy and hectic school year. All of the parents said that they do look forward to their teen beginning school each fall, but for varied reasons.


Emotions seem to come full circle as a par- ent of a high school senior watches his or her child enter that fi nal year of school be- fore going off to college or beginning a full- time job. Some will continue to live at home while others will travel to various states and even across the country. My niece recently began her senior year and the roles seem to have reversed overnight. She cannot wait to get out on her own and go to a college out of state, while her mother, who at times couldn’t wait for her daughter to get back to school in those teen years, is now wish- ing this last year of high school would slow down. Those same tears that were wiped away at preschool graduation suddenly reappear as parents watch their graduate walk across the stage to accept his diploma and slip into adulthood. Emotions really do seem to come full circle as we watch our children grow from those early kindergar- ten years to high school and beyond. Better keep those tissues handy.
