Okay - on that we agree 100%. [b]I want my children to go to college but am not the least bit hung up on the top colleges.[/b][/quote]  This isn't about you.  Perhaps you are  not "hung up" on "top colleges" but that is where your child is aiming.  Don't project your wants and desires on your child.  It is his/her life.[/quote]

Nonsense.  If you child is aiming for one of the top colleges, the best thing a parent can do is stay low-key and suggest the options.  You do not need to add to a ambitions child's stress.  [/quote]

Not that PP, but nobody is suggesting adding to the child's stress. Affirmatively trying to dissuade your child from studying with her friends is not being low-key and suggesting options. It is attempting to interfere with what she wants. It will not reduce her stress or change her behavior, just make her think you don't support her dreams. There is no upside here. Best case is she still gets into a top college but then thinks she did it despite of mom, instead of with mom's blessing.[/quote]
