[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most kids aren't involved and don't care at all about this. It's great your child is engaged and passionate, but just so he realizes - no one else cares. [/quote] +1. I doubt many adults could tell you who their 9th grade class President was. More stress on how proud you are that he’s trying and less on the importance of winning. I tell my kids you get 0% of the opportunities you don’t apply for. And it’s true. Both of my kids were chosen for 1 or 2 things in HS I considered pretty unlikely. Really amazing, long shot opportunities that changed their lives in a great way. Who knows, maybe other kids also thought they were unlikely and didn’t apply or try out. Remind your kid that you don’t get everything you apply or try out for. Probably not even most things. That’s life. In HS, they stop handing out participation trophies. But if you want it, go for it. Because if even 1-2 pan out, that’s 1-2 great experiences. [/quote]
