[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm not sure I see the value in continuing to force her to spend her tI'm doing things she doesn't want to be doing, that just become a struggle between us. I always promised myself I would not be the parent who cared more about my child's activities than my child herself did - i.e. that it'd be theirs to own. But where's the balance? [/quote] Obviously you shouldn't enroll her in an activity she affirmatively dislikes, but ask her to pick one that she thinks she would like and stay with it for a season/year. It's not that complicated. If it isn't for her, she can pick something else after that point. [/quote?] Yeah, I can see that my post was poorly phrased. My point is more that she seems to hate everything. I've asked her what activity she might like to try and her answer is that they're all stupid and pointless. Not much to go on there. Argh, this age can be so frustrating sometimes![/quote]
