Many of us have wanted to do somethings but couldn't when we were young. But we forget that our children may not want to do them too. So we pressure them to like what we approve!! Besides, today's world seems to be one where a parental identity is reinforced by a child's achievements. That is another reason for pushing children like this!! We Indians do it overtly but I guess in other cultures it is better camouflaged!Meera Sundararajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15584671517551652378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-72617972515371311352013-10-05T14:33:19.308-07:002013-10-05T14:33:19.308-07:00Thanks for your comments Ankita.

I saw one of my cousins being forced to learn tabla even though he wanted to learn drums. What I did not understand is why can't the parents let him learn drums if he likes it so much?!

But beyond that age, i don't think one has to push the child, may be encourage but definitely not push like that parent you have mentioned.
