It's one thing to heed doctor's advice and rest and recouperate, but once recovery is reached then it would be natural for a child or teen to want to continue in their area of expertise.

People can just walk across a road and get hit by a car. Being a parent is hard. It's hard because you don't want to wrap them in cotton wool and you want them to follow their dreams yet you are constantly aware of the dangers out there. It's all a delicate and constant balance.

A parent could go crazy just worrying about the "what ifs" for their child. It's a very very hard job.
