Dear Parents, you should know, parenting is not an easy job rather it is one of the toughest tasks! There are many responsibilities and challenges.
Some days ago a friend told me, there are mainly two kids of parents. One is, they always like to treat their kids as exceptional. They tend to think their kids are more talented, smart and capable. I mean, this kind of parents overestimate their kids.
On the other hand, another group of parents always underestimate their kids. They like to treat/think their kids are less capable, less intelligent, I mean inferior. Most often they criticize them too.
In my opinion, both parents are wrong! Though, first group may be a little bit better than another one!
Truly, parents should be prudent. They should learn to judge their kids' quality/capability/capacity as per reality. Really, overestimating and underestimating both are wrong procedure in their upbringing.
I personally, appreciate positive remarks, attitude but it should not be overwhelming. And, I just hate underestimating!

@ Esma, thanks a lot for reading and commenting!
@ Misha, I am really happy to know about your kids.
@ Usra, thanks and yes it is!
I bet I never got overwhelmed with my kids (daughter and son). Whenever I happened to go to the parent teacher meeting (I very casually went there because I found there mostly mothers, not fathers, so, later on, I assigned this duty to my wife). I always said to the teachers that I do not mind if my kids are on average in their study, I would not force them to do exceptional, but if they do of their own, I would be happy. So they did good and made me happy.
Hi bet!
congratulation for this writing, you did a great job.
