I agree with Burke -- as the child goes through life, what they are destined to will somehow manifest itself in later years. Though I have observed many parents (more so dad) get really hot about the issue -- some over compensate with the sports activities and rough play the child is then subjected to.

We're honest with them about social expectations, but if they want to dance ballet we'll be right there behind them. As long as it's not detracting from them being kind, thoughtful, honest, and hardworking human beings, they can do what they want. I figure it's either something they're destined to do and there's no stopping them or it's not, and social pressures later in life will push them towards something they ARE deeply committed to.
