If we did not had two months of mandatory programming as part of high school curriculum and then push to optional course by teacher, I would never become programmer. I would not know that I can be good at it nor that it is feasible career.

But also, I would push my kid both to go outside/to sport and to socialize if they seemed to spend too much time inside or in isolated all the time. You cant learn social skills without practice and your body need physical movement to be healthy. And many kids act badly if they don't have it (they might not be fully aware of causes and consequences, but they do behave better when they had movement). It is great when kid knows what it wants, but that does not mean that it is reasonable to limit education to that single one thing.
