[quote=Anonymous]I think people put too much meaning into "passion" in this context. I think an activity that your kid enjoys enough to pursue on her or his own is sufficient. Both of my kids play guitar, and one of them enjoys it enough that he has spent a substantial amount of time practicing and collaborating with other musicians his age. Is he the next Eddie Van Halen? No. Does he want to major in music? No. But he is good enough that he and his friend get paid here and there to play as a duo, and the time he spends playing is for enjoyment alone.[/quote]
