[quote=Anonymous]1. First, let’s get some perspective: Read Frank Bruni’s book, “Where You Go Is Not Who You Will Be.” Also, “The Self Driven Child” by Stixrud/Johnson. Or “Mindset” by Carol Dweck. 2. Make it clear to your child that you are proud of them and their work ethic regardless of grades; there are plenty of good schools, and while they likely will have more choices the higher their grades are, no one grade or test will determine their life trajectory. 3. With the pressure your child is already putting on themself, I would worry more about countering anxiety than fueling drive. If the kid is driven, they will go far, regardless of where they go to college. Everyone makes mistakes or gets disappointing feedback at times, it’s something they (and you) need to be able to handle.[/quote]
