[quote=Anonymous]Kids are funny at that age about what they choose to tell you and what they don't.

My DD did skating and soccer in middle school and seemed to love both.  And then she no longer wanted to do them and was immovable.  As it turned out she had developed the beginnings of asthma and an autoimmune condition that made both very difficult.  Not that she told me that at the time--and it took quite some time for it to become bad enough she felt she had to tell me about the physical difficulties.  Don't know if this is the case for OP's DD, but it is something to consider.

When she quit her sports, I just accepted it and let her do her thing in high school.  I knew some of it like actively organizing protests and math tutoring, but some of it I didn't find out about until much later (she is in college) like working as a stagehand on various plays and going to the community center after school to learn how to sew.  She surprises me quite regularly about something new that she learned to do in high school while not doing sports. [/quote]
