[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, at what cost. That's important. Your child is an individual human, not a clone of you.[/quote] Op. Absolutely. I know this. And I’m looking at myself to be sure none of that is going on here. I can absolutely let go and it does not need to be that my kids are an extension of me. But I also wonder if this is a phase that will pass and then she will regret her choices later. It’s unfortunate that the road to selective schools don’t mesh with adolescent development. She is in 9th grade and has many years before fully formed decision-making center of the brain while the instant gratification portion of the brain is on full throttle. [/quote] Funny, as my brain has matured over the past 50 years it’s become clear to me how silly it was to have put so much pressure on myself to attend one of the best colleges back in the 90s. Consider the possibility that your daughter’s decision-making skills have already exceeded yours.[/quote]
