Am I pushing my daughter too much?? She is in 8th grade and I do push her to make good grades and she does. She will often struggle in one or two subjects but always pull through and is and A-B student.
I have been speaking to her a lot about college. Is this too soon? She technically has four more years of high school but other parents say to start looking when she is a sophomore. Are we jumping the gun on college prep and looking? I don’t want to be behind, I don’t want to scramble at the last minute, I need to be prepared….
But what about my kid? When does she stop being a kid and start thinking like a young adult?
I need to meditate on this and also remember this is my only kid and she needs to try and be a kid for as long as possible because the world can be a great big mess if your not ready or have your eyes open to possibilities and struggles.
Peace out!
