This quote highlights a somewhat controversial aspect of parenting—particularly in the entertainment industry—where the ambitions of parents can sometimes overshadow the genuine interests of their children. While a parent's encouragement can be beneficial, an overpowering drive may lead to misaligned priorities, stress, and loss of childhood innocence for the child. It prompts reflection on the importance of supporting children’s own passions and balancing parental aspirations with their well-being, ensuring encouragement rather than undue pressure.
