I am genuinely asking for help here.
DD is only in Reception so I know I have a loooooong way to go with her being at School. So I really need help to stop being so competitive.
Did anyone used to be competitive where their DC's education was concerned and found ways to stop?
If we get the Newsletter and someone in DD's class gets 'Helper of the week' or some-such award, I want to know why they've got it and not DD which I know is completely crazy and irrational.
I know that I need to get over this because I don't ever want DD to think I'm a pushy parent (and in fairness I always hide my worries/fears etc from her) but I worry so much about her education and her future, but irrationally so.
Has anyone experienced this and what did they do to stop it? Any advice gratefully received because I can see sleepless nights starting about this...
