[quote=Anonymous]Is it about performance or lack of progress? Because encouraging them to quit for those reasons will surely create resentment and make your kid feel like he/she isn’t good enough to be worth the time and money investment. Depending on the age and gender, this could be a temporary slump. Boys who are late to puberty often go through a hard time when all their peers surpass them, only to catch up again in a year or two. For girls, it can be the opposite - early puberty can mean the are 11-12 year old superstars and then struggle as their bodies develop more curves and they have already peaked physically. All these things can be worked through with encouragement and good coaching. I would not force your kid to quit if they are happy with what they are doing. Many kids who enjoy swimming through high school will not swim in college. It doesn’t make it a worthless activity. [/quote]
