[quote=Anonymous]I get it OP and have been there with my 11 yr old. I stopped encouraging new things, made her pick something she had already done and she spent the last year focusing solely on that. Practicing, lessons, YouTube videos, over enthusiasm from us, even a couple of private coaching sessions, the whole nine yards. The result was a 3rd place bronze medal at a local skating competition in the very lowest category this past summer. She was thrilled. But it's not a passion and she isn't interested in continuing. I was still worth it though as she came to understand that sometimes sure the kids who win the awards just win but there are so many kids like her who had to put in tons of practice. [/quote]
