I know when and when not to act like a stage mom

"Adults constantly raise the bar on smart children, precisely because they're able to handle it. The children get overwhelmed by the tasks in front of them and gradually lose the sort of openness and sense of accomplishment they innately have. When they're treated like that, children start to crawl inside a shell and keep everything inside. It takes a lot of time and effort to get them to open up again. Kids' hearts are malleable, but once they gel it's hard to get them back the way they were."
— Haruki Murakami

I highly agree to this. As a parent, I believe it is my role to guide and support my child as she hones her God-given talent but not push her too hard to the point of burning out and giving up in the process. Of course I would be proud to have an exceptionally-talented daughter but if being so will make her more miserable than happy, then it's not worth it. I'd rather have a jolly, contented, average kid than a wretched overachiever.
