[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m trying not to judge. I don’t know why you are even worrying about whether it will become a profession for him or not. As you say, he is 12.

We have always respected our child’s interests. It is what makes them happy and intellectually stimulated. Your kid is lucky he has something he is passionate about. I find it really sad that your kid felt he needed to hide a passion of his from you and that you aren’t modeling learning and dreaming big for him. This is a parental fail and he will remember it.[/quote]

I don't think I'm not modeling dreaming big? But like everyone has agreed, he is 12. This started at 7. Would you rather I have been pushing him toward the equivalent of Harvard in second grade? I know how those DCUM threads go, so that's rhetorical. We did what we thought was best for him, which was to encourage him to pursue other things. I thought at his age, he would find other things he was interested in. [/quote]
OK sounds like now you know he’s still really into it and I would support that if I were you[/quote]
