[quote=Anonymous]There is a mom at our school (kids are currently in 5th grade so 10) who since kindergarten has really pushed her kid to be in sports and other activities. I think she has FOMO and it appears all the kids on the different teams are having a grand old time that they are left out of. Her daughter does not like sports but still they push. My kid does like sports and I can say from the inside that there are groups of kids who like to hang out together within these teams, but there are things like team dinners at the end of the season, impromptu lunch after a weekend game, etc that you would need to be on the team to know about and join in.

All this to say your daughter should go to what she is interested in if you have the time to pursue. Let her find her own friends.

Also as a parent of a 10 year old who has watched dynamics play out since K - a lot of early elementary friendships or groups are parent driven, 5th grade they are really finding the people they want to hang out with. This can be in or out of an activity.[/quote]
