I hope this isn’t considered resurrecting an old thread. I just had a doozy. My son spent the weekend with his grand-parents. He asked me if he could tell me something if I promised not to say anything about it. Apparently grandpa told him he should not be going to boarding school in great detail. Of course, as a 13 year old in 7th grade who looks up to his grand-father this made him feel uncomfortable–despite having many good reasons himself. I used it as a teachable moment and reminded him that it is up to him (and to us) to make our own assessment of what is right for HIM and not to worry. Argh however.
