[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the parent of a high-achieving, National Merit Finalist, #1 in the class kind of kid, the very best advice I can give you is to step away from this forum and [b]not come back until spring of sophomore year[/b].

Spend the time between now and then nurturing your child's love of learning, helping him/her find one or two areas of particular interest and - above all else - get him/her to read, read, read. Doing those things will hopefully lead to good grades, and prepare DC for the standardized test regimen.

We are a pretty laid-back family, and [b]I've been a little surprised at how stressful and protracted this process has become.[/b] The later you can wait to start, the less time you'll have to spend in its throes.  [/quote]

I actually think spring of sophomore is bit late. Once your child is in HS, the process should start, IMHO.  [/quote]

Why?  What do you think a family should be doing when their college-bound kid is in ninth grade?[/quote]
