[quote=Anonymous]He's 13 and in 8th grade. The next four years of high school are formative and it is a huge mistake to think it's only purpose is strategizing for college admissions. Focus on making high school a positive experience that expands his independence, good judgement and self-awareness. Help him find his interests, develop grit to overcome obstacles, and advocate for himself. Some kids will take a really straight path to conventional success, most do not. As parents, the best we can do is make sure there are plenty of safety nets in case they slip up. There are enough other forces to punish them otherwise. [/quote]
