[quote=Anonymous]Honest answer: make them feel like love is conditional and given only in breadcrumbs based on accomplishment, and that doing only okay at something is the same as being a miserable shameful failure. Your kids will spend their lives trying to fill the void inside them where your unconditional love and acceptance should be with achievements. This is what my parents did with me, and I am a very successful person with many “wins.” But I have spent a lot of time in therapy to make sure I don’t parent my own kids that way and instead encourage them to define and seek happy lives on their own terms.[/quote]
