Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will fail. Unrealisticparental expectations can cause great damage to children.However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are ambitiousin a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are very supportive oftheir child. Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking himto concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice aweek for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his father plays the trumpet in alarge orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling. Winston Smith,Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians, and they set too high astandard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him for everypiano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. Winston is always afraid that he willdisappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.
