You know you’re getting old when you begin transferring the dreams you once had for yourself—such as playing basketball for the NBA—on to your child, a friend of mine recently noted.
His observation is one that will likely resonate with any parent. From the time a child is just a twinkle in the eye, almost every good parent begins dreaming of giving that baby the best of everything in life. And the years that follow see parents doing everything they can to execute that hope by providing excellent nutrition, the best education affordable, and lessons in piano, dance, soccer, computer programming, and every other thing imaginable that might bring that child happiness and future success.
