[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's too young for this criticism ... but later, no one should get accolades for what they want to do. They get congratulations and accolades when they do it. Or for the hard work they actually do, in hopes of achieving their big goal. [/quote] I mean, I wasn't going to congratulate her for having a dream (though I think it is good to dream big, especially when you are very young). I don't think anyone is suggesting giving her "accolades" for wanting to do something. But that also doesn't mean I need to say "yeah, you and a bunch of other people, not gonna happen." I'm looking for the right balance of supportive/encouraging and realistic.[/quote]
