[quote=Anonymous]Let's not lose sight of the fact that our kids are going to grow up to be adults, and the vast majority of adults don't get elected President, or become pro-athletes, rockstars, or astronauts. Sadly, most of us haven't even continued our high school hobbies. Seems like the two questions we ought to be asking are: (1) does the child enjoy the activity now? and (2) could the child continue this activity as a hobby as an adult? Most sports can be played as rec sports, there are lots of amateur music groups, etc. You don't have to be brilliant to quality for those things. Not saying that we shouldn't invest in the rare individual who could be an Olympian or a concert violinist, but the parents of those kids know when they've got one. [/quote]
