According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakeswhich ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parentsexpect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but areambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents arevery supportive of their child. Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and hisparents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons forhim. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knowsvery little about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he nevermakes 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 a standardfor 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 thathe will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.
