it's good for her to find out now that there will always be someone in this world better at something and worse at something, and you can't stake your self worth on it. Best to learn that now where you can support her and frame things in a supportive and nurturing way.
Oh, I totally agree, and it's a big part of why we want to switch her. I don't mean to portray her as completely obsessed with comparison or being best. She has many, many things that make her happy that are not about any of this. However, her self-concept is a little weak in some areas and I think she does feel good about herself *in comparison to others* primarily in terms of academics.
