[quote=Anonymous]I believe that hard work is mandatory, that holding yourself to high standards of performance is important, and that being "active" is generally a good thing as you grow up. I admit that I do push my kids on these fronts. But I'm not a "tiger parent." I don't dictate which activities they do, but I do ask that they pick some that they're into and apply themselves to them. And while I hope they can get into and choose a good college, I don't demand they go to the Ivy League. In fact, as an Ivy grad myself, I'd rather they didn't. The farther I get away from that world the more I see it as a curse rather than a blessing. My mantra is more about helping my kids find what motivates them, and helping them pursue it with dedication, than picking a future for them and demanding that they follow it. [/quote]
