[quote=Anonymous]Very little. I think my parents just had very high standards that my brother and I could not meet. I got straight As and went to an Ivy League school but my mom was just a naturally critical person and my dad was an academic (think chemistry professor at CalTech) that naturally made him unimpressed with most mere mortals since he was used to hanging out with people who were academically brilliant. There was no sense of "we all have talents and strengths and you will find your niche" it was more of "there is one way to succeed and it is academic success." I remember seeing this poem up on a wall in my elementary school and thinking, wow if this is true, I am screwed http://www.empowermentresources.com/info2/childrenlearn-long_version.html[/quote]
