[quote=Anonymous]I'm still working on this whole 'grooming' thing. I actually googled 'grooming children successful' and what comes up are these really heavy-handed parenting guides which emphasize how to be an extreme helicopter parent. A couple of blogs too. A lot of the people who talk about grooming their kids seem to be narcissists who are overly enmeshed with their kids to the point that it's psychologically unhealthy. Personally, I wanted to raise kids who were fairly independent. I suspect that I was 'groomed' to be successful and I always felt like a race horse. I won lots of piano competitions and went to good schools but I wound up sitting in a therapists office in my twenties when I realized that I had no personal preferences of my own because I was merely an extension of my father's ego. I didn't even have a favorite flavor of ice cream or a favorite color. Don't do this to your kids. It doesn't end well.[/quote]
