The whole nature nurture thing is a really interesting debate. Obviously you can “lead a horse to water etc” and maybe they’ll take up an interest, sport or hobby. But how much can we as parents really influence other than by exposing our children to different things and seeing what they like. I have no intention of forcing Maddie to do anything but I am glad she seems to love taking photographs as that is one of my great passions in life – I wonder how long it will be before I need to upgrade her kit!
