If parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause great

damage to him. According to several leading educational psychologist, this is one of the biggest

mistakes which some parents make. Generally the child will understand very well the parents expect

and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to their children.

However, if parents are not unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are hopeful

in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well especially if the parents are very supportive

of their children.

Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to

concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons. Although Michael’s play the trumpet in a large

orchestra, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.

Michael’s friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are

successful musicians, they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful

as they are and so they enter him in every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does

not win. “ when I was your age, I used to win every competition I enter,” Winton’s father tells him.

Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and

unhappy.
