[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. 9th grade. It was a major test. I require that she load all her grades into an excel spreadsheet She creates and understandS the rubric. It’s a life skill. She needs to understand and manage her own life. Measures extend beyond the home.

I’m very hands off.  She’s definitely done well so far. It was one test, but an important test. She needs to understand what grade she needs next test to secure an A. It’s a pretty high A. [/quote]

I don’t think you can require your daughter load all her grades into an excel spreadsheet and think that is equivalent to having her manage her own life or being hands off.  Hands off means you’re not looking over her shoulder or micromanaging how she keeps track of her GPA in real time.  To be truly hands off/reduce stress to your teen? Let her know that you’re there if she needs you, and MAYBE offer a suggestion or two, but also let her know you trust her and then let her find her way. Even if there are some Bs along the way and she doesn’t get into her favorite school, she will be better off in the long run.[/quote]
