[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The toxic exists in everybody’s mind, if there is any of them.
You can enjoy study without considering winning competition. 
Some other kids enjoys competition and decide to work hard. There is nothing wrong with it. No toxic.
Toxic comes when you think those diligent kids takes your opportunities away. Toxic is in your mind.

Go ahead and tell yourself that, but one day you may be honest with yourself.[/quote]

PP was right that there’s a lot of projection. Resentful parents call other parents/kids “toxic” because they want their own kids to be on top without working as hard.  [/quote]

Or they fear for our (collective) children’s mental health.  I’m perfectly fine with my kid not being at the top because they are older now and I’ve seen the toll this sort of approach has on many kids.  My own kid has gotten therapy and is in a much better place (although admittedly, we recently got a crisis phone call about a B+ in a college class).  Take whatever approach you want, but do it at your peril.  My kid is out of high school now and not competing with yours so it does not impact me except in the sense of watching the collective mental health decline.[/quote]
