You\\u2019re actually fairly excited to go back to school, but then there\\u2019s this dance between loving being back and trying to settle back into the routine of being back there. We want to help our children to feel inspired and have a love for learning while also not pressuring them to follow after the ambitions and expectations we set for them, but rather excel in whatever it is they want to pursue.

Number one is don\\u2019t place my expectations and ambitions on them other than them to excel, and two is just to ask them the questions.\\u201d 23:52'
