[quote=Anonymous]I don't mean try to force a kid to be someone they're not. I mean like a boy who doesn't naturally show interest in professional sports - do you try to make sure they still have some exposure and awareness so they can fit in to the general tween boy culture to the extent they want to down the road? (The example I gave is just an example and i still me fully letting the kids decide on their activities / interest, but also keeping typical cultural things in their life even if they're not naturally drawn to them purely for the sake in being able to engage in the preteen equivalent and water cooler talk and / or not stand out as the "weirdo" in a big ruthless middle school.
