00:16have not been as successful as they wanted to be, who have not been as

00:21studious as they wanted to be, who have not got as much admiration as they wanted

00:26to be, they feel very pressured that their child should do it for them. It is

00:33very crucial to understand this baggage of unfulfilled needs and deal with it in

00:45child doing what they want to in studies. Therefore, it's very important to sort out
