EXPECTATIONS  OF  YOUR  

CHILD

Don't get caught up in expecting your child to compare to your neighbor's, relative, or even comparing your siblings.  A child is an individual and should be treated as one.  The same goes for in the classroom when your child's Teacher might make a comment that your child is not where the majority of the class is.  Be concerned ONLY that your child is being met exactly where they are academically.  That they are getting the skills that THEY need whether or not it is what the majority of the class needs.
