[quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of affluent parents take their competitive attitude into child raising. The parents are competitive and want to "win" at raising kids. That means they need the kids to "win" by having great grades and stellar extra-curriculars and getting into a top 10 school, preferable HYP or Chicago or Stanford or MIT. Parents take a huge amount of self-esteem and concept from how their kids turned out. These parents have extremely high standards for themselves and that leads them to push their kids very hard. Unfortunately, as the article points out, that pushing breaks some kids and turns other kids into excellent sheep. [/quote]
