If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a disaster. According to several
scientists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of
what his parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are ambitious in a sensible way, the
child may succeed in doing very well - especially if the parents are very supportive of their child.

competitions if he is unwilling.
