[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if it’s even harder for parents who always excelled at everything. I was captain of every sports team I played on, was top 5 of my graduating high school and college classes and now as an adult director in my field. I have never not succeeded in what I have tried at. Op here [/quote] You hadn’t accomplished any of those things in elementary school, though. Since you’ve never personally experienced anything but success, you haven’t had to build resilience. Picking yourself up, dusting yourself off, and moving forward after a disappointment is a good life skill. You’re just encountering this now, as an adult. Your children will have different life experiences that build different skills. Their successes may be smaller or less frequent, but they’ll be appreciated so much more.[/quote]
