[quote=Anonymous]DH's family is not close knit, and they don't have much professional satisfaction. My family is quite close, and we all have careers we love and that pay for what we need. I think you need to redefine "achievement." My guess is that if a family strives for high achieving kids (and the parents go after that, too) they will focus on grades and competition and schools and salaries. I think that eats away at family health, and is antithetical to my own values. But focusing on curiosity, hard work, kindness, service, and doing your best is likely to end up with close loving relationships AND careers that are meaningful and pay the bills. That is high achieving to me! Achieving in the best sense of the word.[/quote]
