[quote=Anonymous]I have no idea why we expect kids to find their "thing" bu age 10 or 11. They have hardly been exposed to any of the choices! They aren't even old enough for some of them! Just relax, and encourage your kid to try different things -- maybe try dance one season (jazz, tap, hip-hop, whatever), a martial art, chorus, an instrument, drawing, creative writing, different school clubs, etc. See what's fun, what clicks, what's interesting, but no need to get invested in one thing just for the sake of being invested. At this age, I think it's better for kids to be trying new things and exploring.[/quote]
