[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are just who we need to hear from right now.

Your story reminds me of when I had a new kindergartener who I had raised with care and affection and so much worry and planning... and then one day a boy came into his class who had moved here straight from a Russian orphanage. He had some struggles with language and behavior early on, but he’s an awesome kid. Somehow I had thought the only way to have an awesome kid was to guide him every single step of the way, and I was wrong.

Parents in the US who have so much have fallen into a rut of thinking “we have to do everything just right” to have perfect kids. It’s a trap. Because something is bound to pull us off balance, and when it does we need the tools to cope.[/quote]

I would also venture to say that parents feel responsible for either putting their kids on the path to college and success.  I am of firm belief that the best we can do is not stand in the way of kids who have the natural drive. It's hard for us to accept that as parents, but ambition and drive is not something you can teach. [/quote]
