Ds goes to 3 after school activities - rugby, swimming and football. He has started complaining that he doesn't want to do rugby or football, saying it's boring, nobody passes the ball to him, he doesn't enjoy it etc. I've tried talking to him to help him understand that it's good for him to get exercise, see his friends, get invites to play with others afterwards etc. but he still moans. Then he's unco-operative and miserable and it's a stressful experience in the main. Is it worth it? Dh and I are keen for our dc to be more active and get outside more. They prefer going on the computer and watching tv.
WWYD? Should I make him keep going, let him have the odd week or 2 off, let him stop altogether?
