If your child does not like a sport

Re: If your child does not like a sport

I would let them stop... as long as I don't have to pay for the time they don't go.

Dan has started and stopped Tae Kwon Do twice... it just wasn't her thing and she was not motivated. But if she hadn't tried it she would not have known that.

On the other hand she has stuck with her dance and piano. (Although his year she says she wants to do gymnastics and guitar instead...

The only way to truly find their aptitude is to allow them to try different things

I hear you Jazz but what I hear at home is an enthusiastic cheerleader who jumping around and doing the cheers so it gives the impression she likes it.

so I think it may be the practice schedule and she needs a buddy on the team -- if her friends were on the team I think the outcome would be different.

Money done pay fa; special uniforms done pay for...
I doan know .. push through for 3 wks or say fugettaboudit
