Fortunately some kids are able to succeed in spite their parents, although their parents probably think it's "because of". Search the net for Patrick O'Sullivan. Pat's with the Edmonton Oilers now but I have to believe he bears a few scars. Unfortunately this stuff happens with all kinds of activities, even with academics.

Early specialization is another one. Specializing at an early age robs the kid of general motor development. Ill equipping him/her for later years. Tsk. Interest and pushing are one thing.

You see, my step father loves guns and shooting. He got me interested at a young age. Back then though I was small, frail, and weak so I took up lifting in the 7th grade. My interest grew more and more untill shooting became nothing more than a minor little hobby that I do once in a while on the weekends because I like to see things like cans and other such garbage get blown around. My step father on the other hand doesn't get why I don't put as much attention on firearms and shooting as he does. He calls sights like this one and TMusclce "quires" and it just p*sses me off to the point that I want to harm him physically. Today, I have decided to quite competing as a wrestler and take up powerlifting and the highland games. I want to be everything opposite of my step father. That being said though, I have learned a valueable lesson from him: When I have kids, I want them to find an interest I don't care what the hell it is but I will support them even if it goes against everything I believe in as someone who lifts and has made a lifestyle out of it. Ross I agree with you 100%, god speed. Dan As a victim of someone who is pushed into to doing something I can understand and atest to what Ross is saying.

I’d rather work hard so they can have a better life. I would never look to my child as a way to cash in." Well said Ross. I'm a father of five beautiful little human beings, and I can say that you seriously get the point of it all. Thanks for your great products and, more importantly, doing your best to give the world your well-raised children! God bless “My primary objective in life is to care for my children.

Ross, you truly inspire me to continue to work my arse off in all I do, and become better for my family as well, especially my son. Man, I wish I lived up north with you, I bet it would be an awesome agony to train under you!!! Thanks Ross, keep it up! YOSH!!!

However I am against pushing the child to do it if that is the case. I have a 19month son and the only thing I will push him to do is find something he enjoys. If he likes football I will take him to practice and matches. If he's going to be musical I'll buy him an instrument and support him in that. I think its important for a child to find an interest and a parent to support that interest but not to pressure that child in any way to take the fun out of it.

My daughter is 6 years old and likes to tell people that she exercises (not that she works out). I have told her that play IS exercise and moving is fun, which it should be. and she loves to exercise/play.

I can't ever recall my father pushing me when I was that young. Now I'm 25 years old and you can't take me away from the gym or an active lifestyle. It's impossible. Like Ross and many others have mentioned, kids absorb a ton from their parents (and not just hereditary material). If you are living an active lifestyle, chances are your kids will be following in your footsteps. Every parent wants the best for their child, but oftentimes they forget that it isn't necessarily what the child hears but what he or she sees that has the most impact on them.
