Yyyyyeahhh...

Okay, so. I really can't say very much, between Generalizing From One Example and not knowing anything about specific circumstances.

I am going to say that there exists a certain kind of intelligent child who will see what you are doing, resent you for it, and initiate a downward spiral that leads to a rather unpleasant relationship going into adulthood.

Not saying that this is an example, but ... be a little careful.
