Two Kinds


  1. Do parents’ high expectations encourage children to be their best or discourage them by setting them up to fail?  Explain.  Use examples from your life or the story.

Parents should have expectations for their children but their expectations should be reasonable.  Children think they know best but in reality kids should listen to their parents more often.  If parents have unreasonable expectations, they are setting their children up for failure, especially if its something the kid doesn't wanna do.  I can relate to parents having too high of standards because I know multiple parents that want their children to have straight A's and perfect attendance.  Sorry parents but no ones perfect.  If parents used positive reinforcement by appreciating their child's hardest work, kids would definately try the best of their ability and it would be very encouraging.
