[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My regret is not pushing them harder in high school for better grades. [/quote] even more, not pushing them to stick to an e.c. activity. I was hands off, let them do whatever they wanted, and my teen DC said I should've made them stick to something. I straddle that line, and find myself pushing them, then pulling back. Hard for me, and the kids. My parents couldn't help me (immigrants), so I was left to figure it out on my own. In retrospect, while it did make me stronger, I do wish that they could've helped me more in making better decisions. I am helping steer my 16 yr old DC regarding college. DC is a straight A student at a magnet, so I don't need to worry about grades, but a lot of kids don't have the foresight to think things through.[/quote]
