[quote=UCGal]Each kid is different. Some are self motivated, others not. Each kid has their own level of aptitude, also.
My kids are both pretty bright… but VERY different from each other. Not sure about the free range thing for the younger one.[/quote]
I totally agree. Every kids is different, so as a parent, you have to know when to take the reign and when to let them free. There’s no single answer. However, they all need guidance. There are life lessons that you can pass on to your kids to prevent them from experiencing the same mistake you made. Also, being there for them makes a huge difference. Although SK in CV doesn’t want to take credit, him being there for his kids makes a huge difference.
SK in CV, do you think your kids would turn out the same way if you and your wife never gone to any of those events?
