I really want to encourage both of our kids in their interests... especially our daughter, Olive. I've read a lot about how girls aren't really encouraged to delve into their interests, whereas boys are greatly encouraged to do so. It's one of the reasons I was excited to have a daughter, so that we could encourage her to explore her passions and interests!

In any case, I'd love to hear about your experiences. Were you encouraged in your interests as a child?
