[quote=Anonymous]My older kid was always intellectually curious and a big reader. She did tend to dive in deeply to a subject she loved in college and wasn’t especially interested in taking classes outside her discipline. She’s always been a big reader and is informed about politics and world events. My second kid has never read a book for pleasure, and never had any interest in particular classes in HS. He did the minimum necessary to get all As so he had a lot of options to play his sport in college. We were relieved that he did indeed get excited about several classes in college, though he still seems to see the world through the lens of his and other sports. My DH never read a book for pleasure until years after law school. Now he’s a very passionate reader, and extremely well-informed in general. I really think it’s true that the brain doesn’t develop fully until the 20s for many people. [/quote]
