I advise all the young kids to not overwork. You can't be out there blowing hard. You have to pace yourself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We put so much pressure on kids to excel in school at such a young age.
I just didn't work that much while the kids were growing up.
A talented child will have a schedule that is horrendous. You get up and practice, go to school, practice some more, eat dinner, and then you have homework.
Working with kids can be tricky because they can be pretty unpredictable.
You know, many of you kids can't relate to what it takes to get to the top rung, the top of the heap, to have success. We're looking for things that come in a minute. It just doesn't happen.
Kids need time for problem solving, critical thinking, applying knowledge through project-based instruction, working in teams, falling down and getting right back up to figure out what they didn't understand and why.
The kids are a big part of my schedule.
The challenge as a parent is letting your kids fail in the right ways because that's where we do most of our learning.
I think as far as kids go, you just have to work hard. Work on your skills, keep focused.
I want my kids to have a good work ethic. I believe you can achieve anything if you work hard enough to get it.
