There are many ways to this, most parents might be there cause they feel they should, some will derive joy in seeing their kids doing what they love, some do it as a form of encouragement for the kids. As for me I love to be active, sitting around without doing anything makes me question myself because I believe there is always something to do.
Lots of value in being a parent of a active kid, but I wonder if we actually realize how much ad take advantage of it.
If I have nothing to do, what am I doing with my life?
