[quote=Anonymous]PP here, one more thing to add. I don't offer choices to my child that I can't live with. So I'd only say "would you rather play rec soccer . . . " if I actually didn't have a strong preference. Saying that as a threat and hoping they don't call your bluff, or letting them switch and then making them feel like a quitter isn't OK. I should also add that there's nothing wrong, in my opinion, in having a kid who dabbles in things. My kid is usually like that, he's happy doing a little of this and a little of that. I just know that I'm not paying for $50 private music lessons, when all he really wants/needs is the group guitar lesson that the rec center offers. [/quote]
