• As parents and educators,
how do we work together to
help your child develop
appropriate achievement
goals while also maintaining
a healthy life balance?
![Page 70: NAVIGATING SUCCESS CLASS OF 2009 · Resume = Awards / Activities / Community Service / Employment / Sports Test scores (ACT/SAT) ... college admissions offices •A significant factor](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050303/5f6be0b3f883780fe5736ee9/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Balancing the
Achievement Treadmill
Excessive
expectations Over scheduled
![Page 71: NAVIGATING SUCCESS CLASS OF 2009 · Resume = Awards / Activities / Community Service / Employment / Sports Test scores (ACT/SAT) ... college admissions offices •A significant factor](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050303/5f6be0b3f883780fe5736ee9/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
At what cost?
• The greatest cause of anxiety is endless
expectations.
• Parents want the best for their children.
• This best, often leads to expectations.
• Expectations burden the child, suppress their
individuality, and distance the child.
• Shifting expectations to
hopes/standards for your children can
help reduce stress and reinforce the
relationship.
![Page 72: NAVIGATING SUCCESS CLASS OF 2009 · Resume = Awards / Activities / Community Service / Employment / Sports Test scores (ACT/SAT) ... college admissions offices •A significant factor](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050303/5f6be0b3f883780fe5736ee9/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Perfectionism
is about
having such
high
expectations
that they
interfere with
your
performance.
• Perfectionism isn’t about a love of being
meticulous. It’s about fear. Fear of making a
mistake. Fear of disappointing others. Fear of
“failure”.
• Many students simply collapse under the weight
of too much pressure that occurs too early in
their lives.
• Too much pressure – for anyone, but especially
for still-developing adolescents – can be
dangerous.
• It’s not enough to have an average child. Parents
want to have a gifted child.
![Page 73: NAVIGATING SUCCESS CLASS OF 2009 · Resume = Awards / Activities / Community Service / Employment / Sports Test scores (ACT/SAT) ... college admissions offices •A significant factor](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050303/5f6be0b3f883780fe5736ee9/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
They don’t have to do
EVERYTHING
• MORE ISN’T
BETTER
• MORE may mean:
–MORE STRESS
–MORE ANXIETY
–MORE
DEPRESSION

Pressure has
increased
• Currently over 10% of the
freshman class has 8 straight
classes.
• Increases in IBS, Migraines,
Test Anxiety, Depression,
School Refusal, Self-harm
• Students shut down / burnout
• Increased incidents of social
media dangers

Factors
that
contribute
to School
Anxiety
• Inability to manage feelings of
discomfort
• Difficulty experiencing
disappointment
• Inability to apply conflict
resolution skills
• Unable to communicate needs
effectively

• Chicago Tribune excerpt
featuring
Patrick B. McGrath, Ph.D.
“Very often, depression and
anxiety are like brother and
sister, and you don't see one
without the other.”
![Page 77: NAVIGATING SUCCESS CLASS OF 2009 · Resume = Awards / Activities / Community Service / Employment / Sports Test scores (ACT/SAT) ... college admissions offices •A significant factor](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050303/5f6be0b3f883780fe5736ee9/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
• Teens are very skilled at
masking what is going on
inside.
• When the turmoil going
on inside is so extreme
that it spills over to
external behavior,
something is way out of
balance and it has
probably been going on
for a long time.

From Tribune Article
• “With intervention and
treatment, there is hope – and
often recovery – for teens, he
said. “Parents can let go of
their beliefs that there is only
one path to success.”

From Tribune Article
• “Parents should know it’s definitely
OK for their kids to get a B, and
getting an A in a class is not the end-
all and be-all in life,” McGrath said.
“You don’t have to compete with your
neighbor, whose kid was just accepted
to an Ivy League school, and your own
child is going to the local community
college.”

Information
shared at
recent BHS
Institute Day
• Smart Phones not only
increase anxiety but also
create a distraction to not
address personal concerns.
Students don’t seek help
from a parent or trusted
adult.
• Addiction to social media is
as powerful - and the same
as drug and alcohol
addiction.

Has the Iphone
destroyed a
generation?
• Limit / monitor screen
time
• Young people sadly
have a stronger
relationship with their
phone than with people.
• Set strong standards of
digital responsibility.

• Our message of hope is create a mindset
for achievement standards that help your
child maintain a positive balance that
allows for the enjoyment of:
• school
• co-curricular activities
• simple freedom to be a teenager
• time with family and friends

We want to
help
children
learn….
• How to deal with failure
• How to be resilient
• How to accept making a mistake
• How to become comfortable being
uncomfortable
• That there are many ways to be
successful
![Page 85: NAVIGATING SUCCESS CLASS OF 2009 · Resume = Awards / Activities / Community Service / Employment / Sports Test scores (ACT/SAT) ... college admissions offices •A significant factor](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050303/5f6be0b3f883780fe5736ee9/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
Failure
Struggles
Appropriate
Challenges
• Catalysts to pivot us forward in
a better direction.
• Give us the greatest platform
for self-discovery and growth.
• When your child is allowed to
pull themselves up from
failure, what an empowering
moment.
• Imagine your child saying - ”I
achieved this myself and
when I struggle again, I
know I will succeed
again.”
![Page 86: NAVIGATING SUCCESS CLASS OF 2009 · Resume = Awards / Activities / Community Service / Employment / Sports Test scores (ACT/SAT) ... college admissions offices •A significant factor](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050303/5f6be0b3f883780fe5736ee9/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Healthy
shifts in
mindset
• Learning goals vs grade driven
messages:
– “What was the favorite thing you
learned today?” rather than “What
grade are you getting in…..?
• Empowering/encouraging
messages:
– “I appreciate and can see how hard
you are working!” rather than
“You got the A, I’m so happy and
proud!”
• What happens when they get a B or a
C – even if they work hard for that?
![Page 87: NAVIGATING SUCCESS CLASS OF 2009 · Resume = Awards / Activities / Community Service / Employment / Sports Test scores (ACT/SAT) ... college admissions offices •A significant factor](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050303/5f6be0b3f883780fe5736ee9/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
We embrace
the quality /
competitive
education
provided by
our schools.
• The key is to take advantage
of the wealth of
opportunities but balance
that with appropriate
academic hopes/standards
while recognizing the
social/emotional needs and
developmental stage of the
adolescent.

Focusing on your child’s
strengths • Ask your child what went well in their day.
• Listen and tune into strengths your child is
expressing.
• Point out those strengths to your child.
• Tap into strengths to address academic
or social/emotional concerns.
