We all want our kids to succeed, but how do you know if you’re pushing your child too hard?

What’s common between Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf? Their grand slam titles? Or their overbearing dads, who pushed them into the world of tennis and wouldn’t accept anything short of perfection. It begs the question:  is pushing children into endless hours of practice the only way to success?
