Do you feel sorry for kids whose parents always push them to be the smartest and most perfect person in the world?

All parents think their kids are smart, and for the most part, all kids ARE smart. Some are smarter than others. That’s just life.
But there are some parents who put pressure on their kids to “be smart,” like intelligence can be a matter of will. I mean, how would those parents react if the kid just turned out NOT to be the smartest kid in the class? Would they refuse to accept it? Why can’t them just let them be what they are?

The word “perfect’ is thrown around a lot too by some parents. What does “perfect” even mean? All kids are perfect.
