[quote=Anonymous][quote] 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] I would recommend you head for the beach and relax with your kids while they are growing up. This will avoid their burn out. You have every right and ability to make this choice? [/quote]
