[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] But sometimes being around these hyper competitive parents makes me take a closer look at my kids and wonder if I should push them more. [b]Should I push DD7 to make the premier team in travel soccer instead of the 2nd tier team? Do I even tell her she didn’t make the premier team and should practice more? Should I be disappointed that DD9 didn’t get into AAP and will be in gen education?[/b] [/quote] OP it seems like you are choosing to focus on these things. Re: DD7 - travel soccer for a seven-year-old is not something a ton of people pursue. You are opting into a sports pressure cooker. Re: DD9 - AAP is by definition what, the top 10% of the class? No I don't think you should be disappointed that your kid didn't get in. Most don't and it is supposed to be for kids who are not served by the gen ed curriculum, which by definition should not be everyone. [/quote]
