This is not a "regret" thing. Since most of us have experienced life and work and family, our sights have broadened. We have discovered our strengths and weaknesses, we have discovered things, experiences we never have thought we...

When the child fails though, or when he gets lower than the average, encourage and I guess personally helping him out in his studies would also help.

As I'm seeing, all is relative! What happens to another doesn't happen to another! I'm happy to know you've gained a good perspective on how your mom trained you! I hope the youth of today would have perceptions like yours. Keep UP the good work!

Yes, experience I guess is the best teacher! Schools need to give opportunities for students to apply theory into practice. Teachers need to be resourceful and creative for students to have a full experience in school. As parents we also have to open the...

I guess we really cannot remove the feeling of pride whenever they excel in everything they do. However, even if they don't, we need to be there for them. Sometimes,even as narvsgarrison pointed out even our best doesn't produce the result we wanted.

Hi marlsv3, thanks for your well thought response! I agree with you when you said that the opinion of the parents really matter to the children. A lot of troubled youth now are actually not dumb, in fact a lot are smart, but they feel they fall short of the...

Thanks so much, wingsanctuary for the encouragement! It's not fun having to win always, it's not so much fun, either to be at the losing end, always! That becomes of me when I get discouraged! Thanks again for pushing me to win this time!
