[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have kids in both elementary and high school. The parenting I knew who bragged the most about how smart their kid was or how good he was at a sport have mostly all quieted down by high school. My youngest is still in elementary school. There are kids who are 5-6 and can add or read a chapter book and the parents cannot shut up about how their kids are geniuses. The parents of the kid who is good in rec soccer thinks the kid is going to become a professional soccer player. Are these parents really that not self aware? Do they realize how silly they sound about their child being gifted? We are surrounded by smart people. They went to UVA, various Ivies, MIT, etc. We are all smart. Our kids are smart. There is no need to go on about how smart our kid is.[/quote] I don’t think the people you surround yourself with are as smart as you’re giving them credit for. [/quote]
