[b]The life lesson here is bigger than what a child enjoys doing[/b]. It's about not quitting every time something gets hard or it's not fun. By not quitting, a child is faced with problem solving instead. It teaches them how to deal with challenges, setbacks, and failures.  Finishing the year is age-appropriate for a 9 year old.  It's not like forcing her to stick with it now until high school. And if she were younger, quitting now may be ok.  But she can handle, with parental support, finishing the year. And it will help develop the self confidence and resilience she needs to get through bigger problems that she will eventually face. [/quote]

What do you think people play music for? I think that people play music because they like to play music. If they don't like to play music, there is no point.[/quote]

Again, the life lesson here is bigger than the activity itself. If she powers her way through for another month or so, she will understand that she can face challenges. Letting kids quit all the time when something isn't fun is not doing them any favors. Just make sure the lesson is age appropriate. [/quote]

+1. There isn't that much school left for this year. If this were October, I'd say let her quit.[/quote]
