[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, what you're missing is the opportunity to really dig in and develop in an area of interest. Nobody's saying to pressure your kid, but are you providing the kind of experiences that could truly spark interest and a high level of internal motivation? Sometimes being around a peer group that's at or slightly above their level is helpful for that, and it sounds like you're not really getting that at school. Not saying you should change schools, but some kids get that from school, and yours isn't. Getting good grades and doing sports competently is nice, but there's so much more to enjoy. Have you considered a sleepaway camp for kids with a particular interest, such as CTY or Northfield Mount Hermon, or Outward Bound or any sort of wilderness program? Time to think slightly outside the box.[/quote] Hey this is a good thought and kind of out of the box. Thanks. -OP[/quote]
