I think personally, that around 12-13 is when you need to be there to watch them more. I saw a huge change in my son just from the time he got out of
6th grade and the time he got out of 7th. He had new friends, was more mouthy with us. At least I was there in the afternoons when he came home so there was not a chance of anything going on. Ughh and the whole girlfriend thing started seriously in 7th grade. It was just awful. I am glad I was here so that when he came home it was not all girls on the phone and myspace. Plus he did not have the neighborhood in my house.
Good luck with job at the school. I know our school has hired alot of the SAHM's over the years. They all seem to love it!!
