[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, I hear you all. OP here. She wants a school that’s hard to get into. She’s wanted it for various reasons on her own. I’m really not a helicopter parent. I’m here to tell her you’re aiming for x, you aren’t going to get there without y. I’m a loving mom who wants to guide their kids in the direction and path they chose. She wants to achieve something and I’m part of guiding her there. I’m not a monster. Not an elitist either. It’s my kid driving this train.[/quote] I don't think you're a monster but you're misguided. This is a good way to create an anxious and unhappy adult. Support and encouragement are one thing, but berating her for not following the course is another. It's obvious to her that this is the goal you want for her so of course she's going to choose it for herself, but she also needs to know that you will love and accept her even if she doesn't reach her goal of getting into this school.
