[quote=Anonymous]I think "requiring" kids to do an activity (or more than one) to build skill, exercise, socialize, learn leadership, etc. is damn good parenting. I wish my parents had done this for me. i truly believe i would be a different person (for the better) if they had done this. My kids are "joiners" so this is not an issue for them - in fact like a pp i have to rein them in sometimes. But my stepson had to be required to participate in an activity when he began high school. An introverted kid, he said no to everything. He needed a push. Long story short - he is no longer an introverted kid. He is an athlete and a leader and has a wonderful social life built around his club sport. My husband, his ex, her husband, myself and our boy could not be more pleased. A little tired but very happy![/quote]
