[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel jealous when I hear about other people's kids. Karla is fascinated by periodic table and has been studying it for hours, Larla love reading Greek mythology, Larla loves to play chess and loves math. My kid has been fascinated by dolls and loves reading Click magazines which are about 5 years below her reading level and pretty much hates any kind of homework. How do they raise motivated kids?[/quote] I have zero to do with my kid's interests and achievements. I think when parents realize that the competition and comparisons go away. I am not my child. I do not live through her. She has interests and I follow her lead on what books to order and what activities to enroll her. It has zero to do with me and everything to do with the child's personality. Children are individuals just like you and me. Who's responsible for your interests, OP? It's just how and who you are, correct?[/quote]
