[quote=Anonymous]NP here. I admit that I do push my kids (now upperclassmen in HS who have each taken 12+ APs, had multiple jobs, perform at a high level in ECs, do substantial volunteer work, help around the house and manage their own laundry, drive, etc), but they are amenable to being pushed and always have been. We didn't use carrots OR sticks. We openly discuss how they are doing all the time. If they had mental, emotional or other issues around the goals set in our house, I think I would readjust pronto. It's not worth it because in the end, most people end up in the same place. I want to have raised kids that thrive in their own adult lives.[/quote]
