[quote=Anonymous]My kids are still young, but I definitely excelled without being pushed. My parents made it clear that they expected us to do well in school (I think anything below a B would have been a problem but don't really know b/c my first B was in coolege) but otherwise were completely hands off. They were supportive, and academic success was valued, but they never checked my homework or pushed me into enrichment activities, though they cheered me along in the ones I chose to pursue on my own. My 3 siblings all did well in school (and life) with this approach, though I was the only one who attended an ivy (the rest still attended very good schools). [/quote]
