[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My thinking is, if it's possible to give them an edge (socially, academically, physically) why wouldn't you??

I do everything I can to give my kids a leg up on the competition.[/quote]

Because they will hope up with out grit and self determination. We can't simply give our kids a leg up. They actually have to use their legs and learn how to run their own race[/quote]

LOLOLOL

Tell that to the truly elite people of the world.

The people in this thread are so naive. [/quote]

Yes. Case in point: the lady who boasts about how her kids will develop grit by being the youngest, while she simultaneously treats disadvantaged people as entertainment for her toddlers. It's disgusting.[/quote]

Boasting about developing grit? No my kids have it easy enough being in the grade they are supposed to be. Don’t put words in my mouth. Two, I have volunteered by making lunches in a commercial kitchen for the homeless for the last decade. A lot of children come and assist in the ways they are allowed to help. There are a few tasks they can do. Am I supposed to stop because I had kids? It’s not entertainment for our family. It’s our values. Hey someone has to be the one to volunteer their time and give their money. That’s fine if it’s not you but you probably aren’t in a position to be mocking people that do think it’s important.
