[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I ask my spouse...what's the ultimate goal of all of this?  Is it for some kind of scholarship to college so our kids can escape the mean streets of UMC suburbia? That's just not it for us.  We want to foster a lifelong enjoyment of sport and make friends.  Rec is the place for us for now.   [/quote]

Why are you asking your spouse? Ask your kid what they want to do and be the grounding force to support them but also bring them to reality (for example, if they’re not displaying the work ethic or skill to get a scholarship).

Are you kidding, people should no doubt be asking their spouses first, then ask your kid. At this age half the kids won’t even have the attention span to fully answer the question, and the other half will change their mind when you put a bowl of ice cream in front of them.

It goes without saying that you should avoid joy sticking your kid and shutting them out of any conversation about what activities they do. But I find it irksome the whole “let the child lead!” school of thought, and especially the idea of prioritizing your kid’s opinion over your spouse’s. [/quote]
