[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So my younger DD absolutely refuses to even try to learn. She's incredibly stubborn so I also try not to to push it too much, because that makes her refuse anything even more.[b] At this point (she's 8) I don't see it happening.[/b] Her sister was almost 9, but for her it was because of fear...[/quote]

Let me guess.  She knows how to swipe and use a tablet with ease though.   :roll:

You want her to learn?  Take away the electronics.  [/quote]

[b]Good grief. That's just mean.[/b]

OP, kids learn at all different ages. One of mine (physically not very adventurous, never liked riding a scooter, preferred to read books all day long) learned around age 8. The other (physically adventurous, loved riding a scooter from a very young age) learned to ride without training wheels at 3, without ever having used one of the balance bikes you now see everywhere. Some kids just get it and some don't; some care, and some don't and really have to be convinced to give it a go. Get her out riding the scooter as often as possible and let her take one of those REI classes. Good luck.[/quote]

No, it is called parenting.  Kid doesn't care to want to learn because they are content not learning and are inside on electronics.

So you either continue to harp on it like OP seems to be doing, while not implementing something

you implement a plan.  [/quote]

Hugs to crazy electronics poster. You seem kind of unhappy with your life. Maybe try getting outside for a walk instead of posting on a message board. Internet addition is nothing to be ashamed of![/quote]
