I guess we all want our children to be what we weren't. I want her to have fun but to do well too. She seems more artsy than intellectual although she seems to understand her math okay. Do I need to be anxious about her education?

expect effort out of her, as to her school work, and praise her for her talents, dont be anxious, but do get across to her that she needs to work hardest at the things that are difficult for her, and that includes sometimes the things she really doesnt like,,,,,
if you know its easy for her, expect an A, if its difficult or she doesnt care for the subject, expect a B or C,, push for the B level work
my daughter was great in, and loved, math and music, i had to kinda make her study/do the english, and she is happy now,, that i did, she is in college,,,,,,,,

Encouragingly & gently remind/let her know of the importance (pros) of an education. And how it will open more doors, broaden her horizon & possibilities for her future. Encourage her to spend her time wisely at the best of her abilities. If she is doing the best she can, be supportive. Not everyone can be placed in an idealic box. Best Wishes to you both!

Encourage your child by being concerned and envolved in what they are doing in school. Learning can be fun if you make sure school does not become something your child does not enjoy or it will be a long journey.

with love, praise, encouragement ; give her help where needed if she is struggling; hard to like something if you are rowing up stream all the time; try to find a way to combine the two.

What grade is she in? Is she performing to the best of her potential? What are her weak areas? These are all important parts of the equation. I teach lower elementary. My biggest concerns are:
are you performing to the best of your ability?
are you keeping up?
how can we strengthen the weak areas?

give them rewards and make life fun for them but continue to be a parent not a best friend!
good luck!
