Your kids have ONE shot at life. What are you doing to help them be successful?

Even though I think this is a troll post I’ll say the obvious - your kids don’t have only one shot. And I teach my kids that failure is not necessarily permanent. And they will make many mistakes.

Your turn! It doesn’t have to be education related.

Wow! Excelling in kindergarten! Now that’s something to brag about.

When public schools were closed, he learned to read.

40 years ago majority of kids started kindergarten knowing how to read. Parents weren’t lazy and prioritized family over money. You didn’t reinvent the wheel, you just parented.

Teaching them to work hard and stay off social media. Also never talking about “mental health “

Agree
I could read first grade level at age 5 and understood simple addition and subtraction.

I could not disagree more and Winston Churchill comes to mind as well as a friend who went to medical school at she 45. To tell your child that they only get one chance at life to be a success is abuse. You are setting them up for a life of failure and misery.

Woah. That took me down a bizarre rabbit hole.

We only give them regular chicken nuggets instead of the dino-shaped ones. I don’t want my kids to end up at a state school.

We also sent our 2 kids to good private preschool then good public elementary school and that’s it, besides academic we teach them to be nice and kind and build good characters, that’s much more important than academics.

Utter nonsense. You just like to make stuff up as you go. The truth is every year kids start school knowing more. Back in the day, a lot of kids didn't even attend k.

We are in a good area, but well within our budget - we did not stretch to purchase a house, and were able to find one in a good school district. This is so we could save a lot of money so we can send our kids to college and hopefully grad school without them having to take out loans. Yes, we are VERY fortunate that we can do that.

Plus, obviously, raising them to be good people who are empathetic and help protect our planet.

My 5 yr old DD learned to read in a month and a half from me. I used a book from the library for free.

Depends on how you define success.

Lots of “successful” people in this area are miserable.

I parented both of my kids. One could read fluently at 4, the other couldn't read fluently until 6. Same mom, different kids. Otoh, the "late" reader was clearly gifted in art, which was apparent at 3.
