when a mom gets pushy


Ellen says:One of the greatest fears I have encountered as parent of gifted child is being branded as "pushy." Perhaps, a "pushy parent" should look at this not as a negative remark but rather as a compliment.

Yes, I am a parent who cares so deeply about my child. I do believe that parents are children’s first teachers. I don't see anything wrong in doing such role..

I care more about my child than about the reputation I get from my ways of taking care of Rallione. Infact, I am willing to give a push the school 's system to be able to respond to the unique needs of my child.

That's what I am specifically doing right now.

Being "pushy" becomes a problem , only if the child feels pressured to perform to please the parent or if the parents look on their child’s education as a means of giving their child an edge in the competition of life.


I am a proud mom of Rallione... "I didn’t teach him to read. Honest. He did it on his own when I wasn’t looking. You might call me a "pushy mom" but I don't care".
