[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you talked to her about how to build her love of reading into an EC opportunity?  Perhaps even a leadership opportunity? As a freshman, she may not be able to see how a love of reading is a wonderful gift and one that she could share confidently with others. Would she be interested and would her school support a book club?  My DS's school has a really active book club where they bring in author speakers and attend events at indie bookstores in the area. They also do reading events (like acting out a Shakespeare play) with an underfunded public school in DC. Would that interest her?

Found out (hopefully before I screwed them up too badly) with my kids that working with their interests rather than trying to force a new one on them was so much better for our relationship and their confidence. [/quote]

Plus, kids are not clay that you are given to mold.

They are actually people, who have natural tendences and interests. Let them be who they are.

It is actually abusive to convey to them that they are wrong or not enough. [/quote]
