[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is in 6th grade and this is terrifying. At least I can right size my expectations.[/quote] Don't worry. IMO just let your kid be their own self, over time get them invested in taking the courses that challenge them but in which they can do well, do some practice SAT and ACT starting late sophomore year, to determine which they like better, and practice thru HS - start college visits then too. Encourage them to get involved with service work that speaks to them, and over time that they can become a leader in (fewer activities but more deeply pursued), and a summer job in the future, or help with a family member. They will find their place. Plus, the college applicant pool (of US students anyway, not international applicants) is set to drop significantly in the next couple years - so that will benefit yours. We are at peak insanity now, it will ebb. :)[/quote]
