[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plan for the kid you have, not the one you wish you had or the one you want your child to be. There are many activities and things I wish my kids would do but then I realize I'm pushing them because it's what I want, not what they want. When I let them do what they want,  their interest and their passions are evident. Choosing a college where they will be happy was much more important than what the name on the paper at the end is going to say.   My oldest is now at a smaller, barely known outside it's region, school and she's deliriously happy. She's doing a research project with a faculty member and has been invited on two travel trips.   She's playing to club level in sports she had previously dropped in high school but has rediscovered the joy in playing.   Her little school has an amazing alumni network and career placement so I don't worry that she will have a hard time after graduation. All I want is for her (and my youngest) is to make a happy life, not just make a living. [/quote]

Thank you. This is great advice.[/quote]
