[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear OP - don’t listen to the criticism. Kids are built differently and it sounds like yours is very competitive and has worked very hard. They will end up in a great school that is the right place for them! Whether the RD works out or not, trust that everything will be ok in the end. The hard work WILL pay off. There’s no reason to feel guilty about having a competitive student who really wants something bad. These mean people with average kids are just haters and probably also passed their attitudes on to their children. [/quote]
Don't enable. Poor kid is having a meltdown because she was given poor guidance. Mom wants to change the system because things didn't work out for THEM.[/quote]
And what would you have done differently/ Sounds like the mom was trying to set expectations and as others have noted, kids handle rejection very differently.
OP - my kid sounds very similar. Was rejected from her ED 2 years ago. She was extremely upset and we were very worried but after a couple days. she bounced right back and found some other schools. She is having a good experience at her current school. Just follow her lead and give her time to absorb the news. And it is possible the meltdown with the counselor means she got the anxiety out of her system so she can take any bad news a little better. [/quote]

The kid didn't even get rejected yet!  She's having a meltdown because a friend made a comment.  [/quote]

Sounds like a mean girl TBH[/quote]
