pcoz-since day one, our kids have all been given the message that they are great, and should follow in the footsteps of the Avos. The subtle messages we may have given, are that we would love for them to become Rebbes! But, they will choose when they get older what they want to be/do. They don’t have to learn my profession, nor their father’s, nor be a Rebbe. My son did say once, when we were talking about why he doesn’t feel good about himself when I always gave him the message of how great he is, that it’s dafka the reason why he doesn’t feel good about himself, bc I saw him as ‘better’ than he ‘really was’, and he could never live up to my image of him.
