Our DD 7yrs wants to give up her weekly ballet and tap lessons. I don't want to be horrible and force her to do anything she doesn't want to but on the other hand I'm really keen for her to have some active hobbies. She was recommended to do lessons by her street dance teacher as she showed really good skills and the ability to learn quickly. So we found her some lessons locally that she has now done for several months. Bought all the gear once she's been for a few months and was sure she liked it. But today she has declared that she no longer wants to go. she was doing a full 2 hours (two sets of half hour lessons) so she could catch up with the other girls in her age group which I know seems a lot, but she isn't interested in going if we change it to one set of lessons. She does jujitsu for 45 mins a week and 1 hour of street dance a week, then one hour of drama club. As I think primary school PE lessons are pretty lame, I wanted to make sure she was active, getting exercise and having fun. I don't want to send her if she isn't having fun, but I don't want her to give up on everything that's a bit of an effort sometimes - the same thing happened with gymnastics a couple of years ago & she was promising at that too.
