clh5341 is on a distinguished road
My kid seems to be naturally drawn to the things that I'm interested in, but I won't be bummed at all if he decides to go in a different direction. It's all about him being happy in my eyes. Most kids don't want to do something that isn't fun, so yelling at him and making him miserable is far more likely to push them away than to make them want to do it in my opinion. I don't understand people like Little League Dads that sit there and scream at their kids for missing a fly ball or swinging at a pitch in the dirt. If your kid is outside running instead of sitting there eating cheetos in front of the X-Box all day, and is actually having fun, then you should consider yourself a success.
