[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take the video games away and they’ll love skiing.[/quote]

Not all people love skiing. My entire family hates it. But I agree that you just have to go and do [fill in the blank, doesn't have to be skiing], and the kids have no choice.[/quote]

+1. There is no amount of money in the world that would convince me to get on a ski lift. One of my kids feels the same way.  Neither of us like rides at amusement parks either.  You can force the kid to go on the vacation but please don’t force them to actually ski.  [/quote]

Our kid is the same - fear of ski lift and also amusement rides. Took him skiing once in about 4th grade(?) with Boy Scouts and one ride on the lift was enough for him.

He's now 16 and asked to go to Universal last year when we were in FL, thinking he might be over his fear of rides. Nope. He went on one fairly tame ride and was done.

Now, he's asked for a snowboarding lesson - because some of his friends are doing it and he thinks it's cool. We are going to take him for a lesson soon, but honestly aren't expecting him to fall in love with it. I think his fear of heights is real and not something he'll grow out of.[/quote]
