 If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a 
disaster. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes 
which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, 
and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children. 
 However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are 
ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are 
very supportive of their child.

competitions if he is unwilling.
