[quote=Anonymous]No advice on schools, but a thought: Consider whether you are increasing your DD's anxiety by encouraging her to always do her best. A kid like this needs to learn that she *doesn't* always need to do her best. That there are plenty of things that merit a "good enough" effort or even less than that. That it's okay to let some things go, the world won't come to an end. I honestly think kids like your DD would benefit from occasionally having mom or dad say, "Let's just skip homework tonight and go get some ice cream instead. What's the worse that could happen?"[/quote]
