Genuine question for parents.

Your kid loves something but isn't naturally talented at it. Do you let them keep going or gently redirect them toward something they'd be better at?

Angela Duckworth says let them develop grit. It transfers to everything. Cal Newport says find what they'd excel at. Passion follows mastery.

I'm living this right now with my son and tennis. 71% of voters in my tournament sided with Duckworth. But I want to hear from parents who went the other direction. Did you redirect your kid? What happened?
