[quote=Anonymous]Parenting is hard. It's like walking a tight rope -- you don't want to push too far to one side with academics and achievement, but you also don't to let them do whatever they want and lean too far the other way. I'm finding it difficult to find the right balance, and to complicate matters, my kids are all different. What works for one in terms of encouragement, punishment, expectations, doesn't work on the other. The only thing I can do is make sure that my kids know that I love them, regardless. I may be disappointed if they don't care about academics, but I make sure they know that there are alternatives, but I also make sure they know what those alternatives mean. It's like I'm holding my breath until they turn 25 and hopefully a bit settled in their lives. They are teens now, and it's a whole different kind of stress compared to when they were babies/toddlers.[/quote]
