undue pressure
Posted: Thu May 15, 2008 10:59 am
I have a daughter who is in year 7, at a high achiving girls comp (I know Im lucky). but I feel she has been put under too much pressure, she is a bright girl who achived high level 5,s in her y6 sats and has been predicated level 7s, after her tests in this school, and is in the top set for maths and gifted and talented for English, and her report said she is on target to reach those in all of the main subjects, but the head of year 7 took her too one side and asked her if her mum read the report and realized that she wasnt on target for that level in Art, PE, Music, and Tech and that she needs to push her self in these subjects more.
I feel that those subjects you are either gifted or not, she does enjoy Music and Pe but dosent shine at them and the thery side of tech and art she enjoys but she just takes after me and cant draw.
My daughter who is fairly laid back has got in a bit of a stress about this, a stressful night was had after art homework last night. I dont put any pressure on her at all but she seems to be getting quite stressed at the moment. does any one have any advice how I should tackle this issue.
