^^^ It's like my MIL always says...you do the best you can do and they will zing you for it sooner or later anyway. There is a balance and it varies from kid to kid. Maybe a good way to deal with situations/dynamics like this is by encouraging them to have a reach on their lists. My guess is that that would encourage them to strive for it and reinforce the fact that you know they are capable.
