[quote=Anonymous]I stopped forcing activities around 2nd grade, but that was partly because my kid had decided on a couple activities she liked so I was comfortable just letting her do those and not making her do activities that didn't interest her. I continued to suggest things as opportunities came up, but if I got a hard "no", I never pushed. Sometimes I could tell she was interested but worried it wouldn't go well, in which case I might encourage trying it once just to see. But mostly I've let her choose her own activities and not tried to push anything. She's done school clubs based entirely on her own interest, she tells me which camps are good and which she hates and doesn't want to return to, etc. As long as there are things she's saying "yes" to, I don't worry much about the stuff she rejects. Everyone has preferences.[/quote]
