Don't impose your life regrets on your children

The gifted girl Mary inherited her mother's genes. When she was found to have a high mathematical talent, her uncle and grandmother had a huge disagreement over her education. Her uncle wanted her to study step-by-step like ordinary children, but her grandmother wanted her to complete the math proof problem. In the end, she and her uncle lived together and lived a happy childhood as a normal child.

Education is an eternal hot-spot conflict in the family. There are always differences between parents on the education of their children, and between parents and grandparents on the education of their children. But children's childhood should be happy and beautiful, not a tool used to satisfy their own vanity and show off, or to complete their ideal child's appearance, and don't impose their own regrets in life on children.

Everyone has their own independent development of personality, adults should respect children's ideas and let them grow up happily.
