[quote=Anonymous]Op here. I try not to be a tiger parent, and I never expect him to get awards or scholarship or become professional. I just want him to explore different things, find his lifetime hobbies, meet other people or get challenged outside of school. The point is that I don't want to spend a few thousands every year, and he has not made much improvement year after year because he never practices. That is a waste of money and really bad point . He just enjoys the lessons/experiences but he never has anything or goal to WORK HARD to work at or aim at for improvement. I don't think that is the positive way of parenting. He has passion for many things, but he has no drive to continue or to make it better.

I try to cut screentime, but it is easier said than done. I am exhausted from work as well, so it would ve great that he can be actively doing this on his own than me pushing him. I feel bad occasionally when I push ir remind him, and he tells me that youtube is his favorite interest to do in his life. Not to mention about the same for foreign language, he is almost at the same level as 2 years ago after I paid a few thousands on 1:1 online tutoring & group class. [/quote]
