[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your post rings untrue to me OP. Are you for real? There is no need to tell your kid anything...the "market" will. He can apply to fancy places and see where that takes him. His school should advise him about his chances and make sure he applies to a range of schools.

I would barf if anyone I knew told their own child they were not a "special snowflake". Kids have to know at least their own family is rooting for them. They find out soon enough that the world at large is a terrible place. Home is supposed to be a safe space free of taunting.[/quote]

Tell me you are not an immigrant without telling me you are not an immigrant.
Home is where you CAN talk explicitly about not being a special snowflake and find ways to address it. You are supposed to help your child learn and adapt and that means being honest and practical about his/her chances at whatever. You prepare them precisely for what they will find out and teaching them how to deal with it.[/quote]
