Dear Raising Again:

“Few of my ex-colleagues…  are quick and good in their work… I feel bad about myself for not able to complete my work on time and doing my work with little progress only… My Friend says it ok for the little progress, as she has long term plan for me. I just feel struck with myself… Please help.“-

– you say that you have kids. Let’s say one of your kids starts school in Jan instead of Sept the year before. Her classroom  peers are advanced in their studies and your kid is a beginner. Where would your focus be, as a mother: on how well her peers are doing and how less your kid is doing in comparison, or on the progress your kid is making every day (however small)?
