You have a talented, brilliant child. You want to give her the best possible start to life. You send her to the finest schools, buy all the expensive language programs, and drive her to ballet class and soccer practice. Still you wonder, “Am I doing enough?” Or, maybe you have the opposite situation. Maybe your child is a natural-bo troublemaker. You can’t take him out in public without fearing a scene or tantrum.
