Am I the only one who doesn't get that statement? It's quite often given on here in a response to a comment by a competitive parent. But children don't all even out eventually do they? Some are good at reading, some are good at maths, some are good at sports, some don't particularly excel at anything but are nice to know or have the gift of the gab, some are bloody geniuses but horrors, some are genuinely excellent all rounders who will sail through many academic and work place situations etc etc. But one thing is pretty evident - we as adults are not all on an equal level with ability or knowledge in all things. So, our children don't all even out eventually... and isn't that a good thing as long as we nurture our child for who they are?
Or am I missing something?
