[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Compared to your kids.

Say your kid is a solid B student, non athlete, but pretty great kid all around and their cousin is a straight A /500 scholar getting recruited by several D1 schools.

How do you handle the constant bragging?[/quote]

You ignore it. Well, you can say “yay” or whatever, but repeat to yourself “my kid is happy, healthy, and thriving. They are well balanced, well fed, abs well
Loved. I don’t need to compete because life is not a competition”.

Stop viewing this as overachieving just because your kid isn’t doing the same. They are both achieving. And just because their parents are telling you things doesn’t make it bragging, but I don’t know the context.

I have a kid who is a solid B kid. She literally is happy, healthy, well liked, and all around solid. Not A solid, but her happiness isn’t about being the best. There’s literally nothing she’s not good enough at, including being a great person and friend. Being a B student isn’t a failure, especially when they’re a great person. [/quote]
