[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The idea that kids are supposed to have a passion is so pernicious. They have so little experience of the wider world. Most people I know who have a true passion in life developed it in college or even later, when they had been exposed to more and more varied people, places, ideas, and options. OP's kid is at the age where he should be trying new things to see what he likes, to take some chances on activities that might not pan out, to explore. http://parenting.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/04/08/our-push-for-passion-and-why-it-harms-kids/?_r=0[/quote] Here Here! I had a relative who is an admissions counselor explain the importance of a "passion" to my elementary school kids and thought she was nutso! [/quote]
