[quote=Anonymous]Just wondering if anyone else has had a daughter like this around age 10. It seems like so many girls by 5th grade already have their sport or activity and mine just...doesn't really.

She has tried a few things but nothing has really clicked. It is not that she cannot do them, it just never seems to turn into something she actually wants to stick with. Honestly she just does not seem all that motivated.

I am not trying to force some huge passion or turn her into a super athlete. I just would love for her to find something she enjoys and feels good at, more for confidence and just having something besides school and screens. I signed her up for a spring sport (with some friends) that starts next week and this morning she told me she doesn't want to do it anymore.

Did anyone else have a girl like this in late elem who found her thing a little later? What helped? More exposure, more consistency, taking a break, just waiting it out?

Would especially love to hear positive stories because I am trying not to make this into a bigger thing than it is.[/quote]
