When I taught students that age, I set clear standards and expectations to follow. I usually told them if they wanted to be treated like they're growing up, they needed to act like it as well.
To follow these golden rules:
Respect
Responsibility
Restraint
If you give respect...you'll get respect
If you act responsible...you'll be greatly admired
If you restrain from things you shouldn't do...you show great character, integrity and responsibility
Most kids at that age like the validation that they're not babies anymore. Give them a little room to breathe and have a say; but also be clear with what you need them to do. Sometimes making them a part of the decision making helps. Then they own their situation and know they have to live up to some of their expectations.
This was just my experience when teaching 6, 7, 8th graders.
