I think that the described parenting is a bit over the top.

However, we also were strict with our girls. We did not allow the TV on during the school week (Mon-Thur). We read to them every night until they were in eighth grade.

Who's to say how they would have turned out if we had done otherwise, but both girls have excellent vocabularies. Both get top grades.

We allowed the girls to choose whatever activities they wanted. But if they chose to do something they had to give it their best effort for a year.
