[quote=Anonymous]New poster. My kid is fairly bright and does well in school but he doesn’t seem to have the stamina and perseverance needed to excel. All he truly cares about is video games; if not allowed to play, he reads books and always seems to be in la la land. I personally find him a bit boring (I used to be keenly interested in so many things, yet I have to drag him to any extracurricular activity). However he has what I still don’t have- this quiet self assurance to say no to what he doesn’t want and to try things that he thinks are worth trying. I am curious what will become of him but I purposely try not to give him any “directions” as to what to do with his life. I was always a great student and went to good schools on scholarships yet I am painfully self aware in terms of my professional capabilities and am working way below my credentials. [/quote]
