I think all you can do is develop their interests, you can't change them.
Thank you so much for writing that. I gave up any attempt to change my kids once I noticed how different from each other the twins are.
I'm sure my kids will eventually find out (one of them likes to sit on my lap and he already asked "Who is Wilson?" Luckily he can't read English. Yet.)
So far my kids are very good at school but they're so young it's too early to say. I keep hoping that with two mathematician parents at least one will have inherited the gift, but if not I'll live with it. It's just... it's a great life :).
