A report card comes home. It's good — actually, it's great — and somehow you're still spiraling. Sound familiar? Myleik Teele joins Dr. Becky to work through the question that haunts every ambitious parent: *If I don't push my kid, will they waste their potential?* What unfolds is an honest look at whose anxiety is actually running the show — and whether the drive we're trying to install in our kids is something we need to figure out for ourselves first. They get into: what ability vs. effort actually predicts about your kid's future, the moment Myleik saw a straight-A report card and felt something twist inside her, and the specific pressure Black parents carry into every one of these conversations.
