Somewhere there is a little boy and a girl who can't wait to go back to school. Their best is not good enough to their parents. Their parents are pushing them way beyond their intellectual strenght, see these parents are "intellectuals" and anything less than that is rejected.
They are sitting quietly in their room trying to figure out their school work. They have to think carefully before asking for help from their parents because these parents use their "intellectual" as yardstick to measure their kids intelligence
These little kids self confidence is so low that they always seek approval from their parents even if it means sacrificing who they are.
You see love in this household is defined by showering the kids with gifts and often over compensating as more often the parents are away working
These little kids see their parents as dominant forces and this leaves no room for them to be vulnerable, honest, transparent and just be kids
In few years to come they will be adults and with God on their side they will turn out to be OK. When they start working the parents will start wondering why these kids are distant.
