Families play a significant role in shaping a child’s beliefs, values, and aspirations. Parents often set family expectations to provide structure, motivation, and guidance, hoping their children will thrive academically, socially, and professionally. While having expectations can be beneficial, family pressure arises when these expectations become overwhelming, rigid, or misaligned with a child’s personal desires and abilities.
