[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Peer group. When they were young, I was somewhat of a tiger mom. I made sure that they excelled in school, were in the top reading groups, got into the gifted program, etc. once they started middle school, I significantly backed off. Now I check their grades online periodically and say something if I see a missing assignment, but I don’t do anything extra, but I don’t have to. Early on they started to view themselves as among the top performers in their school and made friends with similar kids. It’s now part of their identity, so it means something to them to be high achievers (at least academically). [/quote] Same. It’s spilled over to music and/or sports, depending on kid. [/quote]
