[quote=Anonymous]I'm someone that is very high achieving, but my parenting style has been my kids have to be the drivers of their own fates. I'm not a tiger parent. My 14 year old is ultra competitive and naturally gifted at sports, music and math. He's a bit lazy, though and his executive function isn't there (as compared to me at his age). Recently he's failed in a few places. One because he didn't take an audition seriously. One he tried but forgot some essential gear at home despite me asking about it. I'm trying to tell myself that my failures were defining moments for me. It's hard to see him fail. Anyone BTDT?[/quote]
