[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=maril332]My DD says she feels like everyday is hard for her. She says she feels tired of being "on" at  school all day and coming home to do about 4 hrs of homework each night. She knows that life is about hard work but i suppose she is just feeling burn out?

She is at a rigorous private school (in bethesda.. take your guesses) and she complains of feeling like her life is nothing but school work. Do your kids feel like this? How do you help? [/quote]

Does at least half of her life away from school involve social media?  Is she able to study or do homework for fifteen minutes without reaching for her IPhone?  Have you ever tried taking it away from her for the evening and see if she becomes anxious because she is not connected and not catching up on the "dirt"?

finally someone zeroing in on the real problem.  Schoolwork is such a drag because it takes time away from what really matters - socializing and keeping connected to the social media devices.[/quote]
