[quote=Anonymous]OP, as a parent of two grown children, please don't obsess over this (as I did!) Just encourage, love, and support your child. A few moments of boredom is not the worst thing in the world. Your child is not likely to miss out on success because of one year in school. But, you need to see what you really want for your child. Competition is not always the best thing for a child. Some thrive on it--and, it sometimes shuts others down. I've seen kids who were the "stars" in elementary school shut down in high school. And, vice versa. Some just get moving in middle/high school. If your definition of success is for your kid to be the top of every scale, you will likely be disappointed. If you want a well balanced kid, then think about how to get there. [/quote]
