Thanks for the insights, by the way.

Clearly this is not something that DH or I can even begin to discuss with anyone IRL-- because naturally, any problem is because of DD's three year acceleration and us pushing her. (Yeah, right.)

The only "pushing" we've done is to say "Oh, that's nice. Yes, I'd say that if you do your best, you should have a very good chance at a NMS commendation score. Completely reasonable goal. Good for you, honey. Would you like a practice test booklet from Amazon? I think you should take some practice tests since it's such an unfamiliar situation."


Most people get stuck at "13yo" and "PSAT" and jump right to Tiger Parenting.
