[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why you can't tell her the truth. She's your kid for crying out loud. Who else is going to tell her? "Larla, honey, this is just my honest opinion and I'm telling you because I want the best for you. I think you can come up with a much more compelling topic. I don't think this topic is highlighting who you are, your strengths, and what makes you, you. I think you should consider something like ___________________." [/quote] This! I kindly told my daughter early in her drafting of her first two essays that it was hard to see where they were going. The third essay she wrote was magic. There are ways to give feedback that isn’t just criticism. You need to decide if it is meh or actively not good. If it is really not good I would consider it my job as a parent to let my kid know. College is for four years. Crying is four minutes.[/quote]
