He has projects in almost every class. He, like most TS kids, is very smart and has all honors classes. I thought that was a good thing, but now I&#8217;m not so sure. How do you find the happy medium of challenging them without too much pressure as opposed to being bored because it&#8217;s too easy?<\/p>\n<p>He was very uptight and grouchy this weekend. He just wanted to stay home and play computer games. But we had already bought tickets to go to a band concert at the local high school (his request). We went, but he really didn&#8217;t want to. It ended up being longer than we expected.<\/p>\n<p>I could tell he was struggling. He put his head on my shoulder and I could feel him ticcing. It broke my heart. It&#8217;s so hard, as a parent, not being able to make it all better. Fortunately, the Christmas break is coming up soon. I hope he can relax and recharge then.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/njcts.org\/tsparents\/finding-the-right-balance-with-school-can-be-stressful\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My son, who is in seventh grade, is really starting to feel the pressures of school.
