[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol at kids needing a passion. My passion as a kid, being a kid and having fun.[/quote] Yes whats up with all this pressure? My 3rd grader asked me one day ‘what am i good at?’ Because in class they were doing a writing assignment and had to write about the stuff they excel at!! And he was like I don’t excel at anything and I don’t think that I am really good at anything. That’s just heartbreaking. He is 8. He does activities like basketball and martial arts but he hates basketball games. He like to play for fun not competitively. He is good but not great. Yet he feels less than because other kids play more competitively on travel teams. Is the point of finding something you enjoy just to get more competitive at it? Just to pursue it like crazy? I don’t think so. I am happy my kid enjoys playing basketball with friends and by himself. Not everything has to be competitive and pursued to the extent of draining you out.. [/quote]
