Help I am so frustrated tonight. My daughter is in first grade and was tested into second grade she has always loved to learn. We have never pushed anything on her she just takes it and goes with it. Well, recently I have noticed that if she gets a problem wrong when we sit her down to talk to her about it she will cry and whine. My husband and I just look at each other and can not understand why she gets the way she does. Today she got 5 problems wrong and cried in class and told the teacher that we were going to be mad at her. That was not the truth we are very proud of her and never get mad at her for getting something wrong.It seems like she is so hard on herself she wants to get everything right and we have tried over and over to explain to her that not everyone can always get everything right.
I just don't know what to do. I always thought that I wanted my child to be gifted. I was not. I just never would have thought all these other little things would happen.
