[quote=Anonymous]I do not plan to push my kid DMV-style and agree that it can lead to mental health strains. Kids deserve a childhood, and much more free play time (and less stress) than we give them here. On the flip side, though, parents should be aware that some anxiety, etc. is innate or inherited and you may get a high-strung kid obsessed with grades/achievement even if you take a laid-back approach. My parents both had intensive, pushy parents themselves so made the decision to be very laid-back and "your best is enough" with us. I was still an absolute obsessive neurotic freak when it came to achievement. [/quote]
