[quote=Anonymous]We have one over achiever kid and two who are not. It has not been a big issue. My over achiever is great but is also intense and anxious and sometimes can be a lot. My other 2 kids are more relaxed and go with the flow. Try to appreciate good things in each kid and enjoy their individuality. Sometimes the late bloomers are incredibly successful later in life. Remember that life is not linear. The best you can do with your step kid is to genuinely enjoy him and show an interest in him. Invite him to activities and events. Kids like to be included and invited even if they decline and don’t want to go. It might take a year before he starts responding to your efforts but don’t give up. Positive relationships are very important to boys. And don’t say negative things about your step kid to your bio kid. Good luck [/quote]
