Daily life and schedule for a 13.5-year-old teen who was raised on Babywise. See her daily life, the activities she is involved in, and her daily routine.
This is a summary for Brinley from 13.25 to 13.5 years old.
SLEEPING and EATING
Sleeping and eating are good! She is eating well and sleep is going well. An interesting thing to note about eating is that she takes a home lunch to school every day. McKenna does the same. They do not enjoy school lunch, so we bought nice Bentgo lunch boxes so they can take a good lunch to school each day.
SCHOOL
School has continued to go well! She still enjoys school. I think Brinley dreaded middle school more than any of my kids, and I also think she has enjoyed middle school more than any of my kids. She had a guitar concert during this time for school. She really liked guitar. She is also taking a class where she is making things from wood. She has really enjoyed that, also.
ACTIVITIES
During this time period, Brinley finished the musical she was in (The Little Mermaid, Jr.). She has done indoor soccer practice. She also still has piano lessons. She had her piano recital and did really well.
Something I would really recommend for middle school kids is to find something at the school to get involved in. Join some club or class that other kids similar to them will also be attracted to. This might be a music class. This might be woodshop. It just goes a long way to help a middle schooler find “their people.” Find kids with similar interests and feel like they belong somewhere.
EARS PIERCED
Brinley got her ears pierced during this time period. I never put a “minimum age” on my kids for getting their ears pierced because they were all too nervous to get it done for a long time. Couple that with the difficulty of timing getting your ears pierced between soccer seasons and they just never pursued it. Brinley was the youngest of my girls to get her ears pierced, but that is because she saw her older sisters do it.
