I’m a big believer in constant encouragement when they’re young to build confidence.

and then telling them they suck in high school so that they start to want to do better.

quoting note1eql…pwsp

My main struggle as a parent is distinguishing between giving them
- what they need
- what they want
- what i wish I’d had

I do ok where there is overlap.

But it’s challenging for me to handle the outliers.

They individually want and need different things than i did as a kid.

I just want for them to define success for themselves and achieve it.
