[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are kids out there who need to know *what* they are capable of in order to feel motivated. I was definitely a kid like that-- smart, but unfocused and in need of guidance and structure. It's not necessarily a problem- we're all wired differently and kids change over time. A less motivated child can be a highly motivated child in the right environment. 
Kids can also tend to raise or lower their expectations of themselves depending on the school culture and peers. If the other kids are not academically focused, it's only natural that your child will follow suit.  
Your child may feel anxious, in part, because they do not know what to expect each day. The anxiety + advanced academic needs + immature behavior combined would point me to an exceptionally bright child with some degree of social anxiety. The structured environment of the previous school probably mitigated this issue somewhat because the expectations were more predictable.
