It's always a tricky path. If you let them change too easily, this can also be bad. Some skills are not simple to learn, and you don't want to teach them to lose interest the moment they encounter the slightest hardship!

Well, I know that parenting, like many things, is something you have to adapt as things go on, but if my kids are like me then hardships in an interest will only trigger a strong sense of competitiveness. Its what I'm hoping for anyway.
Yes, it's always tricky! The best laid plans and all of that!
The best you can do (from my ongoing limited experience) is to try and give them every opportunity and encouragement, mixed in with a touch of discipline and a heavy dose of love.
Just being around and interacting with them is the best thing. At least until they don't want you around!
