Original:

I discourage with this following statement. First, I think parents should not discourage their children from choosing something. Because it will damage their relationship with their kids. Children will think their parents not trust their judgment, and they don't have the freedom to make decision for their own life. It will lead to a complete rebellion. Second, when children do something they don't interested, they don't have motivate. But if they are passionate about exercise or entertainment, they will stay motivated.

Revised:

I respectfully disagree with the statement that parents should discourage their children from pursuing competitive careers in sports or entertainment. Firstly, discouraging children from following their passions may negatively impact the parent-child relationship. Children may perceive this as a lack of trust in their judgment and feel deprived of the freedom to make decisions about their own lives, potentially leading to rebellion. Secondly, when children engage in activities they are genuinely interested in, they are more likely to remain motivated and driven. If they are passionate about sports or entertainment, this enthusiasm will fuel their determination to succeed.
