[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it ok if I revive this thread? Lol. I just have a shitton of anxiety about the future (automation, increasing income inequality) and I want my kid to my a have, not a have not. I’ve read Thrivers and a lot of it goes against my anxious nature — I don’t really trust my kid to find the right interests. Sigh. [/quote] Same. I was a lackadaisical student, at best, and a total slacker in high school. I've spent my 20s and 30s playing catch up to my peers, and it made life much harder for me. I was raised solidly middle class to well-educated parents who expected me to find my own interests. I intend to provide more structure and focus on achievement for my own kids. Not Tiger Mom level, but definitely more than I received.[/quote]
