[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was the high performing athlete. Just don’t focus on it so much and find your younger child’s strengths and focus on them as much as the older kid’s sport.[/quote] This. And I think overall its best not to frame everything in terms of "passion" and achievement. There is a shit ton to be said for not having a passion. Passions have their costs too- some people can be sort of so narrowly focused on their passion that they aren't all that well rounded a person, which for many is kind of a negative. I'm conscious of trying to teach my kid that success and being content and present are not always linked. Achievement is great, I;m not saying to be a slacker but maybe the kid doesn't know what they want to achieve, they just want to be content with their daily life and activities. In the end that might be the best place to be![/quote]
