Not a teen boy, but I accidentally ended up with hyperthyroid after a medication problem. The symptoms were things like my hands shook all the time, my heart rate was way high, blood pressure was high too, and I was anxious and felt like I was always trying to panic. It wasn’t hard to test, just a blood test. But it took a good month to get back to a level that wasn’t causing problems. I hope your teenager gets the help he needs.

If you put the washer and dryer in the basement, can you get there without going outside? Starting in the house.

My kids liked the Cobble Street Cousins series when they were reading early chapter books. https://www.amazon.com/Lucys-Kitchen-Cobble-Street-Cousins/dp/0689817088/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2PKJF7GDMSNJT&keywords=cobble+street+cousins+series&qid=1684467025&sprefix=Cobble+str%2Caps%2C152&sr=8-4 This is the first one.

My husband found these pictures and I thought they were super cute. https://www.onlygoodnewsdaily.com/post/australia-s-annual-duck-fashion-show

You might look at Escape Room. It is rated PG 13 and I don’t remember there being nudity or gore. Just people in scary situations trying to survive. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_Room_(2019_film)

I wouldn’t count computer science classes for science classes either, but I am surprised that any school is suggesting that many computer science classes at once. The projects could easily be due at the same time and be absolutely overwhelming. This is coming from the mom of someone who has graduated with a comp sci degree in the recent past. He never took 4 comp sci classes in a single semester. And then two more classes on top of that would have been a disaster. Of course you know the situation and your student better than I do, but I would be extremely concerned about that schedule.

My kids did Videotext and it worked well. But we didn’t watch the lessons and just worked from the books. I thought their treatment of word problems was the best I have ever seen. I have a complete set of it, books and videos, if you are interested. We are done with them.

I got the latest bivalent booster on Monday. It did the same as all the other boosters…. Fever, body aches, feel horrible. It starts about 12 hours after the shot and lasts 24 hours. I am mostly better today. But yesterday was awful. No one else around me is having significant reactions. Lucky me…

It is fine if she ingests the wax. It isn’t tasty but it won’t hurt her. I hope she feels better soon.

I would say put yes and then put the name of the school they are graduating from. My kids graduated from ‘a very very small private school’ in California. They do qualify for in state tution.

My middle child graduated from RPI in May 2020. He got a computer science degree and totally loved the place. He joined a bunch of clubs and was really sad about missing all the senior week stuff because of covid. (My husband and I met there and both of us have degrees from there too. But that info is many many years out of date.)

We didn’t do any of the forms you are talking about. They are adults. They can tell us what we need to know. It is a time of growth and change for everyone. We need to learn to let them do their own thing even when we would do otherwise and they need to learn how to do their own thing without a parent looking over their shoulder. That means I heard about ER visits after the fact. It means I learned about suspected pneumonia after the fact. Various banking catastrophes after the fact. A couple of problems with being too young to rent a car for interviews after the fact. And they learned how to navigate all of those incidents by themselves knowing that if they were truly stumped all they had to do was ask for help. So my opinion is the reason not to do those forms is so the parents remember that the kids are adults. And to let them go and make mistakes on their own.

I think it depends on your child’s choice of major. My older kids didn’t have economics but did have physics. They majored in Computer Science and Engineering. My youngest has economics but no physics. He wants to major in something that leads to designing role playing games. My older kids needed physics. My youngest needed economics. It really depends on the kid and the intended goal.
