[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your friend's son a good athlete? [u]People tend to place a higher importance on the things their own kids are good at[/u]. If her child is not terribly athletic, she might want to change the subject to an area in which he is more successful when the conversation turns to athletics. [/quote][/quote] exactly!!! Her low self esteem is coming through.[/quote] Yeah, this sounds like an insecurity issue. She's justifying her choices or masking her envy. My kids are average - never going to be in the upper half of their classes, probably not going to make a varsity sports team. That doesn't mean they won't develop a love of learning or love of sports. They don't need to be the best. They need to be able to learn, enjoy learning, have fun and have balance. [/quote]
