Write a paragraph analyzing anything that resonates with your experience or that seems surprising, such as Statsky’s claim that children can become discouraged and depressed “when they sense that their competence and worth are based on their ability to live up to their parents’ and coaches’ high expectations — and on their ability to win” (par. 6); or Statsky’s assertion that “it is no secret that too oen scorekeeping, league standings, and the drive to win bring out the worst in adults …” (par. 8). Was this true of your experience or that of your friends or your own children? What kinds of values do overzealous parents demonstrate? Are there any that are positive?
