[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Nurture the kid's interests, help them get involved in at least one thing they love. Make suggestions. Encourage involvement and exploration. Research opportunities. But don't force a particular activity or interest. You should be guided what they want to do. They should take the most rigorous classes if they want top schools, but only if they want to and they can handle them. Don't pressure them to get top grades. But do get them support if grades go below a B. One of my kids was a straight A student and put this pressure on themself. The other had a couple of Bs early on. One kid needed a tutor after Covid. [/quote] I have one in college, one graduate. The first two are too contrived. All three are for them to figure out. If you take the lead on #3, your kids won't be able to cope in college without mommy. [/quote]
