Hi you lovely lot. Just looking for a bit of an insight. My DD started high school a few weeks back in August. She’s nearly 12. Very outgoing chatty and kind. Since high school I’ve noticed she doesn’t really go out much at all anymore. She used to race home to get out with her pals. Now she really can’t be bothered. Instead she’s racing home to either get showered and in her pjs or home to get comfies on. She would much rather sit in on the phone to her pals/cousin and play Roblox. I’ve said aren’t you going out etc but no. She has went out the odd 20 mins straight back in changed tv on, drawing colouring etc. I’ve noticed a big improvement in her as in she’s keeping her room tidy, obsessed with personal care, (not make up as such) taking her dishes down without an argument. She is loving high school and everything that comes with it and meeting some lovely new friends. Did anyone else’s children do this when they started? She has admitted she can’t wait for darker nights so she can be home more but she literally loved going out and now she’s not bothered. She goes to her hobby each week still as she’s obsessed but that’s it really. Not that I’m complaining I know a lot of her friends and kids from school are getting up to all sorts as she tells me x

Is she more tired from being in secondary school? I guess lots has changed for her with moving schools. Does it mean socialing with a lot more people during the day than she was used to? Have her primary school friends moved with her?
