E-MESS: Pushing your kids

Wally, I was listening to you this week when you were saying that it is wrong for parents to encourage or "push" their kids. I could not disagree more. The job of parent is tough enough without a dis-jockey from a very large and well known multiple market radio station who is unfortunately a strong influence on many kids, sloshing such liberal views to our kids and just "beating the dead horse" until you feel like you have won your point. You were way off base, Another concerned parent

I never said not to encourage or push our kids. I said to be honest with them. Don't lie to them and tell them they are the best singer in the world if they are not. If they love music, find ways they can be involved with it if they can't sing.
