> For people who are naturally gifted, successful at young age -- why cheat?
Many are used to being the best. There’s an old saying that 90% of students aren’t in the top 10% at Harvard. When your entire life, you’ve been the smartest kid in your class, it is a tough adjustment when that is no longer true. So they try to find ways to get that top rank again.
How can you ensure your kid can handle this? Make sure they are exposed to situations where they aren’t the best and reward them for giving their honest best.
