[quote=Anonymous]Have your kids develop their one true passion. Even if it’s random and doesn’t seem at all related to anything else. Have them go deep and encourage them to spend their time with that interest. It should be the sort of thing that they want to get lost in the topic or spend all their free time on (in a variety of ways). I promise you it will turn into something in the most unlikely way, as high school develops. Both of my older kids did this - the oldest with something so random and niche that it would not at first seem like anything (and could be considered a waste of time): turned it into a side business/hustle, that evolved into a science project/ongoing experiment that morphed into Summer internships and senior year academic opportunities. Driven by kid. No “big” names. No “competitions”. - one in Ivy and one in T10 (one a junior)[/quote]
