[quote=Anonymous]I have three kids - DD1, who excels academically, DS who excels athletically, and DD2 who isn’t really great at anything. And it bums her out sometimes, when she thinks about it.
But DD2 works so hard and has the best work ethic out of the three - by far. She asks me to quiz her on flashcards before a test, she makes quizlets, she asks for extra sports lessons.
DD1 has never made a flashcard in her life and doesn’t know what a quizlet is, but aces all standardized tests. The sad thing is, DD1 is now in high school and drowning. She just doesn’t know how to study or work hard or just even TRY. Everything always came easy to her... up to a point.
DD2 will, guaranteed, be my most successful child. I have no doubt.
I say celebrate and cherish your hard-working child. The fact that she strives to be better and has a peer group that pushes her is amazing. My DD1 has chosen a peer group that is less than motivated and it’s such a bummer. She has so much “potential” but I fear she will never use it.[/quote]
