[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop forcing him to take harder classes. He's obviously overwhelmed/burned out and now you're piling on to his mental health.[/quote] [b]Ironically I think the opposite is part of the problem. [/b]His grades were not quite high enough to level into the classes he wants for next year and I think that reality (while not the worse lesson ever) is taking a big toll on him. He's a smart kid. His friends are smart kids and now he is relegated to the regular kid classes. He hasn't told me as much but I worry that the finality of that is what is causing this meltdown of sorts.[/quote] this happened to my kids with her extracurricular. got a little lazy, then didn't place at the highest level, and after that down spiraled (this took two years of constant prodding, extra coaching etc) to the point where she is about to abandon it completely.[/quote]
