[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read any of the responses, and I don't know the age of your children. However - I really don't push my children either (granted - they are still young, oldest is in K), and I definitely pick my battles in terms of discipline. And I am the disciplinarian in our family. I come from a family where my dad was super controlling and dictator-like, and beat us into submission. I am trying to find my way still with parenting, but so far, my general philosophy is to get out of the way and let our kids be who they are, enjoy them while they are in our care, and prepare them for the world. I don't think we will push too hard academically - in fact, not every kid is meant for academics. DH's dad was an over-the-top, fly-off-the-handle perfectionist that beat him down if he got anything but straight As. [/quote]
