[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your kid passionate about? What would they do when no one is looking around? If given two weeks or two months with no supervision, how would they fill their time?

The answers to these questions will tell you a lot.[/quote]

OP here. Thanks everyone for the answers.

DD loves math and does a fair share of math programs and competitions. She does it in her free time for fun (personally that seems crazy to me! 😅)

Her other main hobby is playing the piano, which she does for a few hours a day and has been doing for many years.

She loves to read, but doesn’t have much time for it. She likes movies too.

These are all activities she enjoys but is not extremely good at. I would place her at the state/regional level for math and piano. She has interests but isn’t crazy good at anything. [/quote]

Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but she'd have to be pretty phenomenal on piano to be regional/state level. Those kids practice 3 hours/day and have played since 5. Of, course, if that's her, go for it! But, if she is good but not competitive with the crazy level of competition for that instrument,  think about other ways of using piano -- accompanying chorus or the school musical, playing for children's programs or seniors, etc.

Maybe she gets interested in physics and sound and uses her musicianship to help her research.[/quote]
