You forgot this essential rule:
When you're 25, nobody cares that you took AP Calculus when you were a sophmore in high school so enjoy being young while you still can.
Seriously, we're so wrapped up in test scores, performance, how we compare to other countries that we are putting way too much pressure on kids at young ages. You were allowed to be a kid once, do the same for your kids. It doesn't mean don't push them at all, just keep in mind that this is their only chance to be a kid.
Stop freaking out about your kids getting C's. It's supposed to mean average and should be assigned to the majority of students. If half the class is getting A's, then the standard for A work is too low.
