It is normal for parents to have high hopes and expectations for their kids. Here are the top tips on managing them.
It is important to know your child first, their strengths and weaknesses, before forming parental expectations.
Set realistic parenting expectations of your own self as well, based on the time and effort you put in.
Be kind and empathetic to your kids' problems no matter how silly they seem.
Understand your kid’s capacity and set goals accordingly. Do not base them off your expectations but their capabilities.
Create a safe space for yourself and your kid to unwind, without judgment and lecturing. It really helps temper expectations.
