[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree. The answer to that child should be. " you are plenty smart. But are you working your hardest and doing your best? No? Well next year you have another chance"[/quote] And what about those of us who have kids who could work their hardest, and do their best, and still never be in the running for such an award? What platitudes do you suggest we offer?[/quote] There are no platitudes. Sometimes life is not perfect, or fair. Not everybody can be the best, and there will always be someone better than you at something, but that's ok. You will be ok at most things, good at some things, and great at a few things. If your kids don't learn that now, they will eventually, and not from you.[/quote]
