[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The discouragement is appalling.[/quote] I haven’t replied to this thread, but to me the warning signs are that OP wants to put her kid in a pressure-cooker environment when he already has severe anxiety. And she knows that he will need extensive tutoring to survive. Wouldn’t it be better for the kid to be in a more chill environment where he can be proud of what he did himself?[/quote] This. The tone of some posts here are overly harsh and some are kinder, but the basic gist seems right — that OP is pushing for more than her child, at this time, may be able to handle. OP’s wishes for her child are aspirational, but her child’s current and apparent needs are immediate and real. Seems to me that OP’s child would benefit if she focuses on the here and now. [/quote]
