But the real conversation here is bigger than the little kid milestones—Sarah and Grace get into the messy, fascinating question of how much pressure is too much when you're raising capable kids. They swap hilarious and heartfelt family updates before discussing Amy Chua’s Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother and the controversial idea that kids may not enjoy things until they’re good at them.
