[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is in 9th grade and had one B+ on her report card first semester. Reading DCUM it appears she is no longer in the running for our state flagship, UVA. Why are we expecting kids to excel in every way at such a young age? Is there no room for error or mistakes? The pressure to be perfect academically, beautiful, popular, etc. at age 14, which is only compounded by social media, is leading to a lot of depression and anxiety. [/quote] 100% this. Just imagine if our kids or our spouses expected us to be perfect all the time and excel at everything we do as a parent or at work. Imagine that! We are doing this to our kids. No room for mistakes or failures. Just get straight A’s, take all the challenging classes, excel at multiple sports, start a nonprofit organization… etc etc. we are terrible. And then we have the audacity to ask why is this happening to our kids.[/quote]
