When your child is going back to school, she's worried about everything. She's worried about what she's going to wear. She's worried about how she's going to look, and what she might say in the wrong circumstance. But I think, mostly, she's worried about how she is going to be perceived by others, and how she is going to fit in the social dynamic. Things might have changed since the Spring, you never know. It's kind of to check out who is friends with whom and where the power lies. My grandmother, who is the wisest woman of all, always said that being part of the girl world is like taking your temperature in someone else's mouth, all the time.
