[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 679741, member: 11791"] Yes. Even if it means they are switching interests every other year. Some kids do this as a way of finding themselves. Any positive outlet is a good thing. I got lucky - my kid's major activity happens to be the "one" activity that I can whole-heartedly say I enjoy supporting... and it means long hours every single week and a lot more for competition. But... being involved at that level gave my kid an "out" - can't smoke, I'm preparing for competition, can't do drugs, we get drug tested, yada yada... the pressure goes down, because you simply have different interests. However... some teams and other pursuits, have a built in problem with drugs and/or alcohol. So it depends on the kid, and the activity. [/QUOTE]
