[quote=Anonymous]I'm just curious to know how many kumon parents would do it if there was no social pressure to have your child excell? I guess the "competitive edge" thing sometimes strikes me as the parents' own insecurities. Not always the case, I'm sure. Same thing with early pushing of sports. A previous post referred to adults who resented both their tiger moms and those who resented theirpussycat moms. How about a happy medium. Our culture tends to go overboard and to extremes everything! I would be concerned that kids would be burnt out by the time their self-motivation kicks in. With sports many are sick of it by the time group sports are so helpful and developmentally appropriate. Just my opinion.[/quote]
