[quote=SK in CV][quote=cvmom]It’s really tough parenting in CV with the tiger parents. And it only gets worse and more cut-throat as the kids get older…and those parents will do ANYTHING to get their kids a leg up on the “competition”. I’ve seen it all already, and my kid is just entering high school. Nasty. And what awful role models for their kids.[/quote]
I have to disagree with you here. It’s not tough at all, unless you get caught up in it. Just don’t. And make sure your kids know that they’re only competing with themeselves. They don’t have to be better than anyone else, they only have to be as good as they can be.

This is a great point! It’s hard to remember when you’re surrounded by the kill-or-be-killed mindset. Thanks for the reminder. 🙂
