My theory on happiness is that you should have low expectations. You definitely shouldn’t expect much of children. Let em grow, see what happens. My wife disagrees. It is often better in life not to do too good a job.
I’m not a parent, so take this for what it’s worth. It seems like the goal should be to raise kids in a way so that they will lead happy lives. Hard work and accomplishment (such as school success and shredding violin skills) can help lead to financial success and stability, which is a very important part of happiness. But it’s not the only part — far from it. It seems that these parents are solely focused on that one aspect to the exclusion of everything else.
Again, non-expert here… but I doubt very much that this approach optimizes for happy and well-adjusted adulthood.
