<p>My husband and I are not in theater. But I think our kids were exposed to many things. Both did many sports and many fields of the arts. They were involved in many activities from a young age and it was interesting to watch which ones became their passions. Both my girls did do MT, among other things, but only one went into it for a career. One loved all her activities pretty equally. The other one eventually gave up all her sports just to focus on the arts. The one who went into MT, seemed to know this as a pre-schooler and everyone thought so too and so there was never a question about what she was going to major in for college…never came up as it seemed like a given from a very very young age. My other kid wasn’t sure what she wanted to do for a career but had some “direction” or idea late in high school and she has indeed gone into that field (architecture) but I see a difference. MT is something one can be involved in from a young age whereas some fields, like architecture, you don’t get to study until you get to college (or at least this was the case at our school system). For us, anyway, it was interesting to watch what each kid would end up pursuing. When they were children, they were simply exposed to many activities and wanted to do them. When they were mere babies, who knew what they would end up wanting to do. It has been fun to watch though. Also, with MT, I feel lucky because I enjoy watching MT. Had my kid picked something like boxing or wrestling or heavy metal music, I’d have had to watch but I don’t enjoy these at all! I also enjoyed watching their sports, dance, and music events.</p>
