[quote=Anonymous]DS was like that. A few years of this and that but at age 14 he now loves bouldering. You can't make someone like something. I feel like so many parents don't consider kids as human beings and can control them into doing what they feel is best for them. Kids even at 7 or 8, will like things or not like them. You can't just force them into liking something just as you can't be. At some point their own personalities will guide them. And let's face it, you got a good 10 years from age 10 to graduation for them to find an activity. DD is age 13 now and was a star travel soccer player from age 7. But now she's not into it - see how that works? Years of an activity and still not a forever activity. People change. If you stop trying, let them develop and find their own way. Better at age 13 than 7. I promise![/quote]
