[quote=Anonymous] I’m wondering if anyone has dealt with this and how it turned out. My daughter is 10 and just doesn’t seem interested in anything. If she had it her way, she’d just hang out at home all day every day. She’s not unhappy or withdrawn, just completely unmotivated to try anything new. We’ve tried a few things over the years, signed her up for a couple classes or lessons, but she always complains and drags her feet. She enjoys drawing, but does not want to be in any art classes. She was in a fall sport and seemed to tolerate it, but lost interest toward the end of the season. I’ve tried to talk to her but right now everything is a “no.” Her older sister plays an instrument, does a rec sport, and is on summer swim team. Has anyone else had a kid like this? Did you end up pushing them into an activity? What happened? Did they end up enjoying it or did it backfire? Thanks in advance. Just looking for some real-life experiences and advice. [/quote]
