Sometimes parents’ expectations hurt because they forget that every child grows, learns, and dreams differently. When expectations become pressure instead of guidance, children feel burdened instead of motivated. Parents often expect results that reflect their own hopes—not their child’s reality. True success comes when parents understand, support, and guide their children according to their individual potential, not through comparison or unrealistic demands. #TheLighthouseAcademy #RiseUp #ielts

Emotion and impulse control is an advanced skills that many GROWN ADULTS still haven’t master
