Increasing Self-Esteem - 15 year old son


Expert: Jurriaan Plesman, Nutritional Psychologist - 7/21/2009

Question
My son keeps asking me the following question. "Why is it that I spend too much time to get a good grade and there are many people that don't work as hard and earn the same grade I do?" My son is a straigth "A" student since 1st grade.  He is not in 10 grade and I have not come up with an answer yet.

Answer
  Hi ZULEMA ALVARE,

I cannot give a straight answer,but the important thing is to get good grade. I don't believe you can get good grades without working hard. The others are probably saying the same thing about your son. The best advice is for your son to get his grade an stop worrying about others. He may well be more thorough than others as well.
