[quote=Anonymous]agree with a PP that my kids are most excited about activities if they are doing them with a friend (for instance, DS picked doing soccer with his friends this fall vs. baseball which he likes better). If she doesn't want to do any activities, can you set up regular time for her with friends to get together. Maybe give her a 'season' off of activities but the result of course will be being more bored... which may then get her to think more about what she would like to do or try. Or try private lessons in things. (eg. I also at one point did physical therapy sessions for DS (same could be done with private trainer or one-on-one lessons) to work on coordination b/c he wasn't on par with peers in a couple things, which also sucks when you're a kid trying to do a sport - or other activity where it doesn't come naturally if she's that kind of kid.)[/quote]
