We all are familiar with expectations. Expectations laid on us to succeed in life. And without noticing we transfer all these expectations to our children. But do high expectations help our children to succeed in life?

Austeja Landsbergiene, Ph.D., CEO and founder of a private chain of pre-schools in Latvia and Lithuania, is an educator and visionary who thinks that the most important thing that parents have to give their children is unconditional love and childhood memories filled with kindness. Austeja is confident that by creating memories, not expectations, kids can flourish in their lives. Austeja Landsbergiene has been awarded by the President of Lithuania and the King of Sweden a Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award for the enhancement of Lithuania’s education system through implementing new concepts of teaching and for being an inspiring role-model, showing how passion and knowledge can be turned into a successful business.
