It’s very important to support your kids’ interests. I have never pushed my son in anything, but rather allowed him to explore things of interest and saw where he wanted to develop and continue. It’s interesting because many people have thought over the years that I must push Kyrie to read or study and I just don’t. I think he didn’t develop an interest in reading until later than some kids but I never really worried about it. If anything, I worried the most about whether or not he would be athletic because that was really important to me but in time, he developed athletically on his own.

You should expose your kids to many activities but let them guide you on how and what they want to pursue. Parents expect kids to take on too much. Allow your kids down time and time to just veg out. It’s good for them not to be thinking and doing ALL the time!
