[quote=Anonymous]If she is focused only on the grade, she may be defining her self worth by the grade. Perfectionism is a terrible burden the older kids get. One of the best things that happened in middle school, and again in high school, was my 2 kids taking challenging classes and getting a B in something early on. Took away the burden (but oh the anxiety and stress about it at the time). Find something challenging for your daughter that she likes, but that she won't always be the best at (science or math competitions for example.) She needs to learn to value the task or learning for itself, not the external validation.[/quote]
