[quote=Anonymous]It depends on your kid's personality. Mine is a hard charger, emotional, and extremely independent. He would underachieve if pushed too hard. I do a bit of work with him each day, but I take his signals on when to back off. A few of my friends' kids are also extremely bright, but more laid back. They benefit from a bit of pushing and because of their even temperament, don't respond as negatively. I have come to believe that I can't control (make) my kid do most things (by this, I don't mean a dearth of consequences, I mean I can't coerce the behavior I want), but I have some control over the environment. An environment of high expectations has a better chance of producing a high achieving kid. [/quote]
