Parents and your interests

when i was younger even up to the time i was in my 20's my parents tells me to do this and don't do that, during those times i was really disturbed by what they are doing but then there were instances that things are happenning in my life and only then i realized that those things that they were telling are all indireclty connected to my decisions and the way i am now which i am very thankful.parents may tell you things that you do not understand because we are being trained to be obedient ,we are being trained to be a disciplines and responsible person, we are being taught to harness some things that we did not know that we have, they are teaching us to be open minded with a lot of things so that we would understand a lot of things. in other words, they are trainning us to be a better person. i am very thankful to my parents for being strict with me because i have reaped the fruits of their concern.i became a better person because i know how to manage and not control my life.

My parents loved me,and in all actions which they did with me this love was very clear... But i guess wasn't enough careful to put me really to study music where i am a real talent...but maybe here is my big fault...

I am sure some parents have alot of influences on what interest their children will choose. I think consulting with them on what they want to do is better than suggesting it to them.

I've let my children decide for themselves what they want to do and the lessons they want to take. I feel forcing them to do something they don't like won't accomplish anything. I tend to let them try many different things that they take an interest in. Then they have a better idea of what they really like.
