Does anybody have experiences with (near) teenagers with to high expectations about themselves? But not wanting to put in the work to reach the expected results?
I tried fries with strawberry jam today and tried to convince my daughter to try it again. Her comment: “Dad, you need to take a Covid Test; I’m sure you’re taste buds are broken” – I was speechless! I think that was her first time using sarcasm against myself in an authentic way.
@V_ someone close to teenager yes. Not an easy conversation

@V_ my kid is one of them. There is no real answer I think to this. We struggle between encouraging her dreams and also knowing it’s not realistic.

@Munish I'm not sure we are already at the point of having a conversation. At the moment the topic is too painful for her to talk about.

@stupendousman The thing I'm bothered the much is also that she has good grades (with minimal work) but beeing conwinced that she is not good at all. Like bringing a B home and behaving like it was an F (not sure wether I translated the grading system correctly here OO).
