[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so intrigued, but not necessarily surprised, by most of these answers.

It is as though there are only two options:  1) not even know when the exams are; or 2) be a "helicopter mom" who is planning out schedules and sitting next to the kid every moment of every day telling them to study.

There is a lot of space between those two extremes.  And not all kids are the same.

For my child, this exam is important to them.  My child has talked to me about how anxious they are and how much they need to study.  My child has been talking to us over dinner many nights talking about the subject matter in the class.
If a child has an important event coming up (the first one of its kind) that they have expressed they are nervous about, it does not seem crazy or "helicopter-ing" to wonder how I might be able to support.

(And the kid is now and always has put a lot of pressure on themselves.  It isn't coming from us.  I don't care about the outcome of the exam.  My kid does, and I want to support them.)[/quote]

Shh. This thread is playing out beautifully.

Some of the posters are sincere, and some are not. Some readers will believe every word of it, and some will have an inkling.[/quote]
