Highly capable children are not good

he/she says that the less capable children will stay with their parents for life so that their family can stay together and the parents will also be happy. In this way you can be happy even with your less capable child. Do not impose your excessive wishes on your child. If your child is happy, you will also be happy.

If he/she stays with you even when he/she is less capable, you will be happier and both of you will be able to support each other in difficult times.

In such a situation, it is not right for parents to have high expectations from their children. As a parent, you should also take care of this.
