Knowing when to and when not to push your child: I find that most parents are guilty of this. They push something on their kids and when the latter are not too receptive to the idea, the parents say – We never had such opportunities when we were children, so you should be grateful that we’re making this possible for you. My advice to such parents is – Don’t live your dreams through your children. Your childhood is finished and in the past; now, it’s time to let your kids live their childhood the way they want to, not the way you think it should be.
