[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We aren’t in MCPS, but my kid is under a ton of stress. I cope by not taking on any of their stress.  I also try to help when possible - I’ll make my daughter’s lunch, I’ll run errands for her, I’ll make sure the fridge is stocked.  There are [b]so many[/b] administrative [b]tasks[/b] that are time consuming that take away time from more important things.

I also encourage her to have fun. They’re in high school and friends are extremely important to their well being. So I make sure my kid is having lots of friend time. 
Good luck![/quote]

Seriously… most of us who say this have been there done that in terms of managing a full HS course load plus extracurriculars.  Also did college and potentially some type of graduate/professional schools.  Sometimes with kids.

Part of the goal of HS is learning time management and work/life balance.  Sometimes that balance gets out of whack and you have to bring it back inline.[/quote]
