[quote=Anonymous]Don't push it but do ask her what she doesn't like about these activities. It might be something you can address. My kid HATED soccer, loves ballet, turns out she prefers more structure (and more pink). Also she used to be very anti gymnastics but all the girls in ballet do it so now she wants to go. So it can shift. I would also look into introductory camps instead of multi-week classes as a way to introduce her to new stuff. Less commitment for you and might give her more of a sampling. I signed my DD up for a musical theater camp this summer (going with the theme she seems to prefer artistic activities to straight sports). If she hates it, time commitment is lower (I'll make her do the week no matter what because it's childcare).[/quote]
