[quote=Anonymous]I push my kids but we still have lots of down time and fun together. They must play a sport each season and play an instrument. I don’t expect certain grades but I need to see them trying or looking for ways to get help if they aren’t understanding or grades are low. In the summer, we expect 1 hour reading, 1 hour other school type work, and some chores. That still leaves them with about 10 free hours of time. That’s plenty. It takes practice for kids to learn that they unlock potential when they work hard, that it takes time to become good at something, that you may find you like something if you don’t give up immediately. Parents who are fine with pushing kids in travel sports look down on those who push kids academically. People can really get better at anything with hard work. It’s a lesson worth learning even if your child isn’t very athletic. [/quote]
