[quote=Anonymous]haven't read all posts - my husbands family will enroll the kid who refuses to do anything into cross country running. he did and became a great runner! But then he picked other activities. My son was like this around age 12 or so. But after making an ultimatum and trying out some things he finally has found a few things to do - magic club, tennis, and this year he said he might actually go back to lego robotic club. I think it might be a phase. Plus my kid actually had the nerve to tell me he would be in the band now but I didn't force him to play an instrument. I didn't feel like fighting that battle then... So you really can't win. Just make up something and tell them that is the defacto activity. I 'd pick something close to my house and cheap. That often gets the kid thinking a little bit more.
