There's a lot of pressure on kids, period, just to be successful in life.

Every kid has something they're good at, that you hope they find and gravitate toward.

We put so much pressure on kids to excel in school at such a young age.

If children can't handle competition when it's necessary, or take some criticism, or never strive to be better because their parents inadvertently programmed them to believe they are already the best even when they're not, then they are in for some serious shocks and bumps down the road.

Many think kids have lots of time and few responsibilities. And that's just not true. They are stressed and under pressure.

Great pressure is put on kids who don't have dads to get out and make money, and make life easier for everybody. It was always, 'Hurry up, grow up, make money, there's no man to do it for us.'

Our children can achieve great things when we set high expectations for them.

As a kid growing up, I put a lot of pressure on myself.

When kids are met with the highest expectations and given the extra supports they need, they can be as motivated as kids anywhere.

It's really fun to see young kids trying to find excellence in themselves.
