Senioritis, burnout and the safest ways to deal with both.

<p>Ditto the above. Last year at this time, so many things were converging and our DD who is usually pretty tough was stretched too thin.</p>

<p>One piece of advice. Depending on where your D is accepted and decides to attend, it may be unnecessary to take AP exams. DD’s university really doesn’t give credit for APs - essentially her placement would have been higher in certain courses. We had paid for all of her exams (6) but told her to skip several - physics, econ, and something else (it just goes to show what a difference a year makes that I can’t remember what else she skipped). We didn’t care if we had our money returned - we wanted her to have a more normal schedule. </p>

<p>Keep up grades, drop Japanese, drop a club if possible - exert your last chance for her to use you as an excuse for dropping something. Hang in there - next year will be better!</p>
