If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will
cause a disaster. According to several scientists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which
ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents
expect, 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 are ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well - especially
if the parents are very supportive of their child.
Michael is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking
him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive
him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little
about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never
makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.
Winston, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful
musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as
successful as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are
very unhappy when he does not win. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his
parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.
