I'd go so far as to say: if you want to play high notes, practice low notes. Build a solid foundation and extend your comfortable range up, not the other way around. What you want is to be comfortable and flexible in all registers. By practicing high stuff, you're developing a different embouchure for that range...which is bad.

Work on having a unified sound and linking your low register with the high one, slurs from low to high will help get over the break without having to reset your embouchure...
