“If I don’t push my kid, they’ll waste their potential.” A lot of
us believe this. But is it true?

Myleik Teele joins Dr. Becky to work through a question that
haunts every ambitious parent. What unfolds is an honest look at
whose anxiety is actually running the show — and whether the
drive we're trying to install in our kids is something we need to
figure out for ourselves first.

They get into: what ability vs. effort actually predicts about
your kid's future, the moment Myleik saw a straight-A report card
and felt something twist inside her, and the specific pressure
Black parents carry into every one of these conversations.

Dr. Becky wrote up some conversation starters that might help if
you're worried your kid isn't reaching their full
potential.
