[quote=Anonymous]You described our 8th grade DD and her situation exactly. I try to tie her worth to her character. To tell her that she matters to our family. To protect her self-esteem. But it's a losing battle. I understand, OP! I have another, older DD with dyslexia and it always helped to have an outside-of-school interest where she excelled. Different situation, but I'm thinking about this as 8th grader goes off to high school. I want her to feel confident and successful at something outside of school, too. [/quote]
