[quote=Anonymous]I don’t see a problem. Sometimes living in DC can make you try to “keep up with the Joneses” even with skills because everyone seems to be so achievement focused with top careers etc. What I have found is that many of these accomplishments are probably embellished and people even brag about things that they don’t even truly enjoy doing because they just like the accolades. Another portion of kids will drop all of that stuff the moment they leave home and many have resentment towards their parents for pushing so hard. I would prioritize your child’s happiness and mental well being over any type of achievement. If people would stop and observe how depressed and anxious so many of these kids are while living that sort of elite sports lifestyle, many of us would not want to follow that path. Your kid sounds well balanced![/quote]
