[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] +1. OP said that her kid is now being treated for anxiety which is why she wants to see how he does now that he is medicated. Generally, treatment for anxiety isn’t just “done” and the patients goes about their merry way. Stress can make it worse. Kids generally need many medication adjustments due to growth and puberty. It usually gets worse in adolescence before it gets better. Putting her kid into a high stress environment isn’t going to help.[/quote]
