[quote=Anonymous]Agree that 9 yo is too young to worry about this. It’s very child-dependent - we have 4 kids and 2 have shown a strong interest in an activity from early elementary and two are still figuring it out as they approach middle school. We expose them as much as we can and stay open to possibilities. My oldest DD (in middle school) has tried sports and activities that I am not excited about but I let her try them. When something sticks for more than 3 months I try to push getting doing that activity in a bit more structured way. Sometimes that leads to them quitting and sometimes they get more into it. I think they have found at least one activity they are going to stick with for a few years. I didn’t really get serious about anything until upper middle school and then really pushed myself in it in high school/college/ grad school so I think it’s fine to wait. [/quote]
