[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is a 2nd grader. He just plays all day and night. He is taking swimming, basketball and soccer classes, but he never practices unless I am mad and push him. He is interested in math and chess, and he has potential to be better at it and  go into tournament. He chooses not to spend time on them unless I push him to do so. He has a membership at an outside school chess club that I have to push him to go once in a while. Once he is at chess club in person or he is working on math questions, he has fun and he can spend hours on them. He is a good reader, same thing that he never reads book. Once I force him, he can spend hours reading book if he finds one that he is interested.

All of his free time is staying home watching youtube and screentime. His summer is being outdoor camps daily for 10 weeks doing multi-sports, running around and soccer.  He has a ton of mental & physical energy to burn. How do I make him to do this or that on his own without me pushing or reminding him? I want him to enjoy being a kid playing around, but I don't like it when he does nothing. I spend a few thousands on those chess/math enrichment membership & swim/soccer/basketball classes that he loves every single year,  and I want him to spend time on practices as well.
