The strongest bottom line for a family is not how well the child performs academically or whether they can get into a prestigious university, but whether they are not afraid of their parents, whether they dare to say no to their parents, and whether they respect their own feelings. Only then will the child become a person with their own opinions, a self-consistent individual. This is also the confidence they need to venture into the world in the future. So, parents should be the child's strongest support, not their judge.
