Our hobbies make our children and our fears break them.
What we are habituated to do is most likely what usually our kids pick up at an young age. I grew up listening to my dad's bedtime stories, and observing him reading books. I used think that he was telling me all those interesting stories from those books. I picked up the habit of reading books from him and I'm still hooked onto it. As I grew up, I picked up the habit of writing, again from my dad, and you know how I'm with that now.
While it's easy to guess what hobbies children pick up from parents, it's tricky to say what fears they are influenced of. There might not be a direct correlation of the fears they pick up, but somewhere or others the fears of parents and children do have a connection. I'm still not very clear of which ones I succumbed to. However, I'm sure I did. Those fears did become my limitations at times.
For our kids' sake, we must choose our hobbies wisely and try to be fearless from within, as much as we can.
