回复：While I want to sympathize with you, I am reminded of

You sounds almost liked my dad.

If happiness are judged by how much one smiles, finance, career etc, I guess I should be catagorized as happy. But the truth is, I am unhappy and I know the source of my pain. It is not like I am miserable all the time, but it is painful to look back. My childhood was basically robbed.

Skipping grades, the goals the parents set for the child, the way the parents educate their child, the languages the parent use towards their child etc (sure the environment, the child itself all play a role, but they are for another topic). can all have huge impact on the emotion health of a child. Without a healthy emotion, there is no happiness.

Aren't many of us if not all still struggle with the meaning of life and trying to find the balance or harmony in our life? What do we have to say what is best for a child's future? Being a CEO would be happier than being a cook? Having millions would have less headache than having minimal? They are all illusions. As a parent, we shouldn't abuse our power and let a child be himself/herself!
