What is Phase? | The High School Phase

Sep 24, 2025    Adam Witter

Welcome to the high school phase. Maybe you call it the…

 

“Dating and freedom” phase or the 

“Can I have 20 bucks” phase

“I know what I’m doing!”  phase 


Whether you have a goofy ninth grader, an independent sophomore or a ready-to-go senior, we want you to know the high school phase is awesome.

 

As parents, we’ve heard “it's just a phase” at least once, and usually the word phase in this sentence means a season or stage that a kid is in that we look forward to being over. It’s kind of like we’re all saying, “it's just a phase, but don't worry it'll be over soon”. 


But what if we are missing the best part?
