[quote=Anonymous]Our third child, who is in middle school is completely self motivated and gets As because he wants good grades and he does the work. It's not very hard for him but he is no genius. We pushed our oldest some and he got very stressed his junior year in HS, probably got overwhelmed and got depressed and stopped working. He is very smart but has some executive function problems. In hindsight I wish I hadn't pushed him, but I saw his potential and wanted him to do the best he could. It's possible if I hadn't pushed he would have done better and more importantly not have gotten depressed.[/quote]
