[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, some children develop passions early on. In most cases, they latch on to something that they might have only had casual exposure to. Parents don't have to push. If you read interviews with many top classical violin soloists, for instance, many of them talk about having heard a violinist in a relatively casual way (on Sesame Street, busking on a sidewalk, etc.) as a preschooler, and instantly being seized with the desire to Do That, often pushing their parents into getting them lessons. [b]My mother insisted I start playing the violin[/b] -- I had never ever heard a violinist prior to starting lessons -- but once I'd done it for a year, I wanted to keep doing it. Decades later, I'm still a violinist.[/quote] The problem for some gifted kids is they understand "casual exposure" is rarely that. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/suffer-the-children/201206/the-drama-the-gifted-child[/quote]
