[quote=Anonymous]I wish I had the answer. Two of my kids were very interested in being well-rounded as tweens/teens, one of my kids has been much more challenging in that regard. She's a reluctant reader, not althletically inclined, and not really very ambitious about developing interests and talents. I sort of insisted she have at least one outside activity every week -- for a while it was volleyball, later it was guitar lessons. She still is the kid who likes lots of time to just watch youtube videos and chat online with friends. I give her lots of space to do this, however sometimes we put our foot down and encourage her to do something else, like take the dog for a walk or try her hand at making a new recipe in the kitchen (she likes cooking). If it's any comfort at all, I think tweens sometimes get more morivated to branch out as they move into adolescence. DD is more open to new things now at 16 than she was at 12 or 13, for example.[/quote]
