It doesn't matter.

It's really hard to get a C in elementary these days. For Msth,, figure out what she's doing wrong. Math is cumulative. You want.to nip any problems in the bud.[/quote]

 Not what she’s doing wrong and if it’s not for a lack of effort, finding out what concept she does not understand. Get a tutor or extra help for her. Talk to the teacher.[/quote]

This. Figure out the reason and address it.

This is your chance to teach her how to cope with a setback. 4th grade is the perfect age to introduce this concept and you are fortunate to have the opportunity to do this at an age before grades actually matter. [/quote]

+1. Assuming we're talking a C on a report card and not one assignment, I actually think it is a big deal and I would get to the bottom of it. If we're talking a C on one assignment, I would calmly discuss/try to figure out what happened, but not make a big deal about it at all. I think, also, that you know your kid better than we do. How you deal with this in a Type A ball of anxiety kid who is hard on themselves is 100% different than how you deal with this in a chill kid who doesn't care or stress. [/quote]
