My DD has been crying last night as she didn’t get picked for her school play. She is more embarrassed I think as she told her friends she thought she got a part.
her friends all seem to excel in something- top sets or brilliant at sports. She hasn’t made the a team or choir or the production now. She dislikes playing an instrument. It doesn’t help her younger brother is in the a team for every sport at school and top sets.
I feel she needs to excel at something, but not sure what as most kids have been doing their ‘skill’ for a while now.
i have put her in an outside drama class, but they don’t do a production. And she has singing lessons and attends a football club- but she just trains with them, not yet good enough to play.
or how do your kids cope with being average- doing ok, but not near the top for anything academic or extra- curricular?
