[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid brought home an 84 and I lost it. Since then, worse grades. I dialed in the pressure cooker. How do I dial it back? Have you been there? I know I did wrong. I took way too many marbles out of her jar. Too much pressure too soon. She’s cracking to please me, not herself. She was fine before I intervened. I feel awful and responsible for bringing too much negativity into her life. For the record, we expect straight A’s. She’s capable of this. It’s like I ruined her psyche.[/quote] Straight A’s? Sounds like a lovely home environment. We expect our kids to do their best. That’s it.[/quote] DP.. ok, we say this, too, but for the most part, barring any SN, most upper/middle class kids should be able to get an A unless they are in a super hard magnet class.[/quote]
