[QUOTE="herofan, post: 1403305, member: 17843"] True, it does no good if it's only the parents desire. I'm not necessarily talking about the "forcing a kid to take piano lessons" like in the old days, but I think a lot of parents condition their kids early on, especially with sports. I know a guy who is a sports fanatic and coached high school basketball at one time. Several years ago, he showed us his son's 6 month pictures, and he was posing with a basketball. I'm sure sports will be encouraged in his life. Speaking of band, that reminds me of my daughter. When she was in sixth grade, they introduced band to the students in an attempt to recruit students. They made it look so exciting with all the bells and whistles. She thought about joining. I didn't tell her no, but I wasn't too excited about it because I really just thought she fell for the sales pitch, so she didn't do it. Fast forward 7 years to a few weeks ago. We were riding along talking about school and she said something like, "dad I am so glad you didn't want me to join band in middle school; I know now I would have hated it " [/QUOTE]
