What a very important and uplifting message, parents should accept their child's own dreams and thoughts on life, a parent's expectations should be that of the child, so very well said, Jesse, and written****kahpot

HI Jesse, to many kids are so pressured by
there families...and some friends...that
confusion sets in...and they don't know
how to turn...so they run the wrong way...
when kids turn to adults...if parents did their
best raising them...teaching them write from
wrong...they have to trust what they did...
and let them leave the nest...they'll make
their own mistakes...but they will be their own...
I love your poem my sweet friend...very well written...
Love Linda xxoo

are in my prayers Jesse...for a safe and fast healing
surgery...and as pain free as possible...God Bless...

Hello Linda.
I love your poem within a review of a poem. It's creative and well-constructed all at the same time.
Thank you for your kind words.
Thanks, also, for keeping me in your prayers. My knee surgery is set to happen on February 27, 2025. Let's hope it will be as pain-free as possible.
Thanks for your blessings.
Jesse

Thank you for this good parenting advice, Jesse. I know I have been both a victim of expectations from my parents and also guilty of expectations of my kids. It's so much easier to be accepting as a grandparent!

Agreed. Being accepting as a grandparent is so much easier!
I appreciate you admitting you are guilty of expectations from your parents and as a parent toward your children.
Take care, my friend.

It is my firm belief that parents that demand overall excellence from their children are more concerned at how that makes them look more than what the benefit might be to the child. Forgotten also, is the damage done to the child when the get the sense that their failure to achieve greatness somehow hurts their parents.

Thanks, my friend. You make several decent points when it comes to expectations of the parents. Thanks for sharing your firm beliefs on the subject.
Take care, my friend.

Comment from Aussie
Because the parents birthed the child, they do have high expectations for their child. There comes a time to cut the apron strings and let the child become an adult. No one should try to interfere with the path of another. "To every man, there opens a highway and a low; every man decides which way his soul shall go."

Expectations of a child can hurt their development even before they achieve adulthood. Parents do not own a child. May I ask where you found the quote at the end of your review? It is beautiful.
Thanks for the six stars and the thoughtful review.
You are very kind to drop by and give your two cents worth.

Happy Christmas Jesse. How goes your walking?

I am walking with a walker down the hall to the end and increasing in strength as I do it. I've done it eleven times so far. I am preparing for knee surgery on February 27, 2025. After that, I will walk unaided free as a bird. I am counting on it.
Happy Holidays to you, Kay.

The sky is the limit!
Happy Christmas!

wise comments. Expectations for children who then rebel against their parent's expectations and desires are the staple of many Korean dramas which often feature such conflict

I did not know that. Thanks for letting me know about the many Korean dramas and how they feature the parent/child conflict.
Enjoy the evening.

Comment from jim vecchio
I did not always obey my parent's expectations, but I struggled, found Christ, had a blessed job and a wonderful wife. At the end, I made peace with my parents and now have much time for writing.

People applying pressure upon a child, does have it's impact, over expectations sometimes tangling mix feelings that could harm. I found this a just shout out: precaution of these probable transactions.

Comment from Janet Foor
I love the line "acceptance brings joyful self awareness." As parents, we often don't realize the power we have to help our children grow and mature into loving, kind and productive adults.
Well done Jesse

Comment from patcelaw
This is a powerful message about how to be a good parent. We could never put more expectations on our children then they are ready to achieve. When we do, we can find the child goes astray. I was one of those children myself, and I never felt accepted by either of my parents. Patricia.
