Last week my 9th grader was beat. High school is a slog, and she trains for track five days a week after school. So on one particular day, on the way to drop her at school, she voiced in a teary way that she didn't want to go. The road warrior that I once was, not very gentle to myself and others, would have told her she needs to be responsible, show up, and push through even when she didn’t feel up to the responsibility.
