[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have mixed opinions about pushing the kids. I feel that sometimes parents needs to push a little so kids are not afraid of exploring new activities, learning new stuff or giving up prematurely. I have seen this with my own kids as they were a little afraid/hesitant a little and needed help from the parents initially, but once they got hooked and realized it’s not hard and scary as they imagined, they loved and did more stuff with out much help. If parents don’t provide that initial push, they would never had started on their own. But it wrong to push the kids beyond their abilities and/or unlikely to get the traction or develop interest. Please note that not all kids are same and you need to adapt accordingly. [/quote]

It’s not the “pushing” as much as it’s the pushing with a precalculated checklist of activities and tutoring with a singular goal.

Introducing kids to new activities is different than signing them up for extensive tutoring and numerous predetermined STEM (and other ECs) at a very young age, expecting them not just to learn and explore new things, but to win at all costs and punishing them when they don’t.[/quote]
