[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Act like you aren't - if you're a high-resource family. They have a summer job. Ideally they find it themselves. They don't have their own car, they have a car they use with your permission. They aren't given a lot of cash so they learn to prioritize. They have responsibilities at home - mundane, necessary chores everyone faces. They are celebrated for reaching goals, some other than academic. They gain a healthy perspective by appreciating other areas of the country that aren't as privileged.[/quote] All this. Coming from a high-resource family, your kid is going to be fine. Lay off the unnecessary pressures (unless they’re actually asking for tutors and other enrichment) and just let them be a kid. Everyone will be happier in the long run.[/quote]
