[quote=Anonymous]I realize I am inviting a LOT of negative responses here, but hear me out: -Kid has tried a few activities here or there over the years. Nothing has really stuck. To be honest, I wish I had stuck to my guns about it but we moved out of the country and then came back. Then, three months later - bam, COVID and lockdown. I have since pushed the idea of activities and am generally shot down. This kid is going to get to the end of high school with a lot of video gaming under their belt and little else. And this is not just about college prep. I think there is a lot of value to engaging in a sport/activity, etc. Child is not athletic and I've more or less given up on sports. There are a couple of activities that I think would play to their natural strengths. For one, I feel like they would need some exposure/lessons prior to trying out/joining. If you needed to light a fire under your teen's butt on this, what did you do?[/quote]
