What are the challenges in setting balanced expectations?
Several challenges can arise when trying to set balanced expectations, including:
1. Comparison with Peers: Parents often compare their child to others, which can lead to unrealistic expectations. 2. Cultural Factors: Different cultures have varied expectations regarding child development and achievement. 3. Parental Anxiety: High levels of anxiety and stress in parents can lead to setting overly ambitious goals for their children. 4. Lack of Information: Sometimes parents do not have access to accurate information about what is developmentally appropriate.
