[quote=Anonymous]It is interesting to see so many adult posters wishing their parents had pushed them more. I have to say we as a family are relentless pushers. At this point, we don't care much what kids say they want. They have to take both of our heritage languages and that is not negotiable. (Believe me, they try!) Practicing music is not negotiable. Sports, meh, they can do one thing, some thing, and that's OK with me. We emphasize fitness but do not care for organized sports generally. So the short answer, I guess, is to figure out your non-negotiables for some things, listen to the kids in other things ,and let go in yet some others. [/quote]
