[quote=Anonymous]Read "Excellent Sheep" and "How to Raise an Adult" to get some perspective on not getting sucked into this narrow college prep track. My kids are in middle school and my approach is to encourage them to explore new things but also give them opportunities to do what they like. One does already have a deep interest in both art and science, esp. natural sciences. She will split her summer between a couple outdoor-education focused camps and a couple weeks of art camp plus a just plain fun field-trips camp that goes to water parks, movies, trampoline park, laser tag, etc. My other kid doesn't have a clear area of interest but casually plays a couple sports, plays an instrument in the school band and will spend most of his summer as a volunteer CIT at a general camp that he loves.[/quote]
