[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's possible your kid is not into organized sports or clubs of any kind, but it's also possible you haven't shown your DD enough options. You could try broadening your idea of what "counts" as an activity. We know kids who do community service clubs, choir, 4-H, D&D, theater, scouts, sewing, foreign language club ... there's so much out there.

I'm not unsympathetic. I was a horse girl, in the "literally anything involving a horse is for me, I am never bored" sense. I [i]loved [/i]horse camp. DD likes riding horses but is not interested in the care and feeding, or learning about them, and horse camp was a bust. Disappointing for a minute, but we've moved on. She is really into training our dog right now. We've also taken a couple of different sports intro classes together, to try something new - we took a fencing class at the rec center, for example.[/quote]

If it makes you feel any better, I was a horse girl and my daughters are both horse girls and while I love their passion for it, I don't love the 7 figures we spend a year on it...[/quote]

You spend a million dollars a year on horses? [/quote]
