[quote=Anonymous]I think it's tough to strike a balance between encouragement and helping them try new things, and forcing them to do things they don't want to do. Our rule in the house was, if you signed up for the season, you had to finish the season, you made a commitment to the team, the coach. After the season, if you want to quit that's okay, but you also can't do nothing, so think about what you'd like to try next. At age 8, I signed up my then reluctant daughter to try a sport at her summer camp for a week. She ended up falling in love with it on day 1, and it became her main EC for the next 8 years. [/quote]
