[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid basically wanted to try something new every year. Nothing has “stuck” and she is a sixth grader. It is fine!! She’s a great kid that is currently trying Battle of the Books and Model UN. She likes both a lot, but next year she could easily say “meh, I want to try something else.” And we will be happy to let her try new stuff.

I can easily see her college application essay being something like “I’m one of the rare kids that is a generalist.” And she will be fine.[/quote]

6 grade! I have a 1st grader and I'm hoping he will find a couple things he'll want to stick with SOON. Coordinating new things (schedules, driving around, just getting acquainted with new activities and new parents, etc.) is kind of tough for this introvert! [/quote]

Well, she is a super extrovert and so is my husband. Every activity she joins, she comes home and has some new friend. She also loves to “party plan”, and I have like 10 kids her age at my house every 4-6 weeks. As they get older, there really is no work other than driving them and signing them up. I never felt like I needed to get to know the parents even when she was young.

My biggest problem now in 6th grade is her wanting to do too much. I have to say no to attending some football and soccer games sometimes. And, we said no to Science Olympiad. [/quote]
