I'm a parent of two elementary school-aged daughters who have become extremely close to each other. While I'm glad they have a strong bond, I'm starting to worry because neither of them seems to have any interest in participating in extracurricular activities outside of the house. I've tried encouraging them to explore different activities, but they are reluctant to try anything new.

For instance, I had to practically force my younger daughter to join a sport this year, and my older daughter has refused everything except for one art class that got canceled due to low enrollment. They don't show much enthusiasm for traveling or trying new things; instead, they seem content with staying home, drawing, and playing with each other.

I'm concerned about what I might have done wrong as a parent. I've always encouraged them to explore different interests and participate in activities that pique their curiosity. However, they have consistently refused any after-school clubs offered by their elementary school, such as girls counts or soccer. Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.[/quote]
