I know from personal experience (a ninth grader now). Tell her not to worry that as long as you pay attetion and stay out of trouble school will be a piece of cake. And participate in activities!

Ahh i remember that fear! I am guessing that your daughter is used to getting good grades right? Remind your daughter of how well she did during all the other school years. Remind her of how the teachers at school are always more than happy to help any student who needs a little extra help. And tell her that you would even be willing to hire a tutor to work individually with her if she were to need it. My parents hired a math tutor for me during 8th grade and i became the best student in my Algebra class. And most importantly tell her that you're sure she will do great!

As a middle school teacher, I can tell you that every student comes with the idea that they might fail because it is a brand new grade and they might have seen other classmates fail, also among their friends they might have conversations about how hard 8h grade is. She might just be scared of entering the eighth grade because of how "hard" other kids have said the eight grade is. Just wait until school starts tell her not to worry as long as she studies, does her homework, and don't skipped class/school she will be fine. Tell her to enjoy her last year in middle school and everything will be fine!! Good Luck!!

Ask her what classes she is worried about. A lot of teachers offer help before & after school. If that is not an option, consider getting her a tutor.
My daughter had a lot of trouble starting her 9th grade school year - math is always an issue. Anyhow, the teacher told me that he goes in every morning early to help students. I had to take her early every day that I could, and she ended up getting a B in algebra : )
Hope this helps.

First, she needs to be organized and stay organized. She has to really listen to what the teachers say they want her to do and then do it! She needs to listen and take notes during lectures and STUDY each night. She needs to read and keep her homework up to date. I don't know what state you are in, but most have an 8th grade assessment test in the Spring. She needs to ask for on-line tutorial programs and use them! She needs to get lots of sleep to be alert in school and she needs to put school ahead of her social life. If she should start to flounder in classes she needs to tell you so you can ask for meetings with the teachers, who will help her if they know you and she are trying. You need to make sure her homework is done to the best of your ability. If your money situation allows, get her a weekly tutor to help her along. Stay positive and reward her good work! She will be okay!

You could try hiring a tutor for her. Some of the academically gifted high school students would probably not charge very much to help her with her homework. That would give her a little more confidence.
If you can't hire somebody, then work with her yourself. She probably would appreciate more attention from you, maybe that's why she's stressing so much to you.

Is this the crossover from elementary to junior high or high school? Could be just fear of the unknown.
Not the crossover? Still going to the same school? Find out why she is afraid to go to school. May be a bully waiting for her there, or she did something to embarass herself just before the last school year ended.
Good luck!!

Tell your daughter everyday the following things:
If she believes in herself...she will succeed.
If she works hard ... she will succeed.
If she really wants to succeed...then let her tell herself everyday that she will succeed - do this in front of a mirror and let her say it to herself every morning before school like she means it...
Not to worry about what she wears...those important in her life will see the real her.
Tell your daughter that she is here for a reason and that reason is to do great things for others...and the only way she can do great things for others...is she must first do great things for herself...and that is........STUDY HARD.
God Bless her - your daughter will succeed with you on her side.......

reasure her that you would never let her fail anything. You may let her fall from time to time but you will always be there to pick her up. "Remember mother is god in the eyes of a child"
