Children's Activities in the 1980s

In the 1980s, children were often pushed into activities like piano, art, tennis, and swimming at a young age, initially having to be forced to participate. As they became skilled and gained recognition, they developed a desire to continue excelling in those activities, driven by the self-fulfilling prophecy of achieving notoriety and boosting their self-esteem. This recognition from others fueled their motivation, leading to a cycle of self-fulfillment and a desire to continue honing their skills.
