[quote=Anonymous]My thought is to encourage my kids to work to the best of their abilities. If I know they are doing their best and don’t do as well as expected, cool. As long as they tried their best. If I know my kid is super capable and just doesn’t bother (like prepare for a big test at school) that is when I will let them know that is not ok and that they are capable of SO much more. This has worked really well with my son (he’s going into 5th.) Now, he doesn’t do well for me, but for himself because he wants to work to his full potential. Lots of times, I am actually like “You did great! 18/20 is awesome!” And he is like “NO! I should have gotten a 20/20! I know I could have done better!” And I need to tell him to chill and know that he still did great and that everyone makes mistakes. Just learn from it for next time.[/quote]
