[quote=Anonymous]Mine did, and I have known since I was 12 that I would make sure I was more like you when I was a parent. If that tells you anything. In reality, I think the best answer is that you need to know your kids and their personalities. I was already an intense kid, constantly in intense environments (I grew up in this area), and all that pressure was seriously NOT good for me. I was constantly terrified to mess up, never learned that it was okay to fail, seriously believed that my parents' love was somewhat dependent on my performance (they would be horrified to hear that. They were no different than all the other intense parents in this area...that's just how I felt because, as stated, I was already an intense, serious, sensitive kid). I was wayyyy too stressed at way too young of an age, and it was not healthy. I also was totally burned out by the time I hit 25 (newly graduated from Harvard law). It hampered me more than anything.
