[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP your kid is a normal kid. You’re a pressure cooker. He’s going to probably be fine but you’re just going to cause a lot of stress and heartache for no good reason. You need to be okay with your kid being a regular person even if you are a high achiever. That’s not the only way to add value to the world. [/quote] The kid is not "normal," he is on medication for anxiety at 10-11 years old. That is well beyond the usual nervousness or fear of failure.[/quote] Which is fine, but he needs a suitable environment to thrive. It won't just happen magically by being put in a school full of other super competitive high achievers (and their similarly driven parents pushing them).[/quote]
