[quote=Anonymous]I think it's fine to let it go and see how he settles in to kindergarten. Agree with PP that having something in the winter (indoor swimming could be great and get him ready for pools in the summer) once he's a bit more settled and going to the playground is less fun would make sense. I would just keep asking him, and trying different things that don't require much commitment to see if something clicks. Maybe he'll like playing an instrument, or martial arts, or bowling, or Scouts, or dance, or fishing, or pottery. Next summer you could try to put him in a day camp that does lots of different activities and base 1st grade activities off of what he enjoyed. Is this the recipe for an Olympian or a piano prodigy? Probably not. But it seems a lot calmer, cheaper, and happier than your other options at this point so I'd go with it. [/quote]
