That's something I didn't learn until college - I was over-achieving in high school, and my parents encouraged it. I wish my parents had somehow taught me that I didn't have to be perfect, before life did it much more harshly (my health deteriorated, which forced me to drop activities and be more lenient with myself on grades). I think it's awesome that you're teaching your children now. If they don't appreciate it now, they will one day. It's an important lesson.
The cascading friends-locks work well. While most of my journal is public, I like having the option of not only restricting to my 'friends', but choosing smaller groups based on the content.
