Bear with me here.
Husband and I were chatting on holiday as you do, we have both came from very good backgrounds, went to good schools, both were smart and were brought up in an excellent area yet we both have average jobs. ( never went to uni)
And by average jobs i just mean not really a career, just work, go home get paid type of thing.
I dont know if this is the reason we perhaps want our kids to know what they want to do/be and also go to university but yes we know this is a type if "in an ideal world" situation.
We spoke about maybe creating more boundaries around homework and when they go to high school.
Oldest (10) wants to be a vet since 2 years old, we know how disciplined she (and we) will need to be in order to get the grades, youngest 2 arent sure yet which is fine as still loads of time.
So my question is, what have people done/put in place to ensure their children are focused in their education and working to their highest potential.
