[quote=Anonymous]Our biggest regret was not encouraging more initiative. I started typing out a long story but you have all heard similar stories before. The bottom line is it's easy to follow good advice from DCUM. It's really hard to encourage initiative and even harder for a student to actually figure out how to embrace a life based on initiative (it's not like we and our DC didn't try). However, initiative (or lack thereof) is almost always the difference between getting into schools that match a student's stats vs getting into schools that are reaches. Much more important than which schools our DC got into, better early efforts in initiative would have helped out children learn how to fail forward better. [/quote]
