8yo daughter doesn’t have a “thing” and I’m tired of people acting like that’s insane.

I recently noticed that a lot of parents have linked some hobby or sport or something like that to their kids’ identities. My daughter is really well-rounded and tries out different activities (birding club, opera, gymnastics, tae kwon do, soccer, sewing, dance, art, etc...) and sticks with it through the season but doesn’t get obsessed.My frame of mind is that I’m happy for her to be exposed to different things and maybe she’ll find something she loves to pieces, and maybe she won’t, and either way that’s ok.The issue is when other parents (coworkers, her classmates’, etc...) get all weird and preachy. Like she has to have a thing at 8 (or any age) I’m okay with how she is, and she is too. I was similar, and now I have lots of varied interests and little projects that I do in all sorts of realms. Jack of all trades, master of none? Maybe, but I’m happy and handy!Any other parents in my boat? It feels weird to push kids to be into something after interest is lost. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2F1BQ0F
