[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Option D OP. Go in the garage and play basketball with your kids. Spend some quality time WITH them. This keeps them off electronics, gives you some special time with your kids, keeps their skills sharp, and keeps them having fun. [/quote]

It sounds like that is what she has tried to do and they say “tomorrow Mom.”

My kids are a bit older (14/12/10) and I could write a very similar scenario. I pretty much have done the same, offered to play/practice with them, provided the equipment needed to do some at home training and explained the importance of self improvement. I wish I could tell you it clicked, but they barely did anything over break and I didn’t force them to. We travelled for half of break and they were home while I wfh the rest. They weren’t allowed on screens most of the day and had to spend some time outside, but they chose other things to do.

The oldest is the most likely to practice his sport at home, but really doesn’t a ton. At a younger age, he threw against a flyback and hit into a net a lot. Unfortunately, his practice did not pan out and he was eventually cut from travel baseball. He practices stick handling and shooting some but not a ton.

The younger two are probably going to learn a hard lesson about not practicing at home next season. Both play travel in their sports now, but the age groups they move to next year will be more challenging to make the team. [/quote]
