One last thing, we never pressured our D to go Ivy league but because we gathered so much knowledge it was easy to say at times when she was slacking, if you want to get into an Ivy, you gotta do X, if not, then do what your doing. Our D is very competitive so that was usually all that was needed to get her back on track.

Our S was the opposite, he had to be told to eat, sleep, etc because he ould relentlessly pursue his passion at his own expense. Still does. Different folks, different strokes, I guess.
