[quote=Anonymous]You don't get it OP. An 84 on a 9th grade test has zero to do with her getting into the college she currently thinks she wants into. She is 14, she should still be very open to what she may or may want to do in 4 years. Your expectations are a big part of why she has such high expectations of herself. They are intertwined - you exert pressure on her and she internalizes that and exerts it further on herself. You wouldn't have gotten upset with her if it wasn't your own feelings that were hurt, she let you down, she disappointed you, she didn't meet your expectations. This wasn't about her and what she wants, it is about wan you want for her. You could both use some therapy to try and have a healthier mindset towards success, identity, and goal setting.[/quote]
