[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And I call BS to kids wanting to do activities all the time. Most people want to relax after working all day. Same goes for kids. After an entire day of following directions and listening to teachers etc they also want to relax and chill. Not go to more activities. Every. Single. Day. I have seen kids mine and others resist going to their sports practice , art classes, swim practice etc.[/quote]

I have a basketball loving kid who wants to play basketball every single day. When he is home, he plays basketball in our driveway. If it is raining, he practices dribbling in our basement. He plays basketball with his friends.

I have a tennis playing kid who plays tennis daily. He has coaching, team practice and matches for his team and also plays tournaments. When we are on vacation, he wants to play tennis.

My daughter is my youngest and she dances. She does not go to dance daily but she would. She is not on a dance team…. yet.

All three of my kids played soccer. They all dreaded going. One son played travel and was quite good but he never loved it. I think we confused being naturally good with him wanting to go.[/quote]
