[quote=Anonymous]To what extent do you think that laid back parents can raise laid back kids in this regard, even when surrounded by pressure-cooker families? DH and I are pretty non-competitive when it comes to work and school. We both have jobs that are intellectually stimulating, we read a lot, have academic and social interests, but couldn't care less if our kids are at the top of their class/make the competitive sports team/ etc. I like to think we can raise kids who don't feel the need to keep up with their peers in some of the ways being discussed here, but they're still young and so I don't know if we're being totally naive.[/quote]
