What's the right balance when it comes to assessing your child's potential? How do you accurately push to afford your child every opportunity to excel while not coming across as "that parent" who thinks his child is in a league all her own? It's hard to believe we'd be wrestling with such a question at the end of kindergarten, but, apparently, kids these days are pushed into accelerated programs at a really early age!

We love our little princess more than life itself, and we think she's amazing. In addition to being kind, considerate, and funny, she's very bright, but, then again, don't all parents think that about their kids? I don't want to be obnoxious about it, but I want her to be given every opportunity to succeed. If that means a little extra recognition at such a young age - aided by a little pushing from the parents - so be it. I want her mind to grow and be challenged, and I'll do everything I can to make that possible.
