[quote=Anonymous]Choose 1 of the many activities, in conjunction with your kid, and have them practice that 1 activity.  If it’s basketball or soccer, you may need to go join them. But your kid will probably agree to play with you and a ball a couple of times a week. Your not the coach, so this probably isn’t running drills, but kicking a ball together. Or practicing shooting baskets together. Maybe it’s your kid showing you what to do.

I also agree with limiting screen time. That doesn’t necessarily mean do away with it. I suggest using it strategically. For example, after X, Y, and Z have been completed. Or 30 minutes right when we get home. Or whatever works for your family.

For the chess club, either commit to going once a week and bake it into your schedule, or stop paying for the membership. That doesn’t mean your kid has stopped playing chess for ever. It just means that right now it’s not a good use of your money. It may also mean that he doesn’t want to enter tournaments right now and that’s ok. Your kid will change a lot in the next 2-3 years.
