I wish I knew a better way to keep kids excited about activities they are involved in. My daughter is losing interest in her taekwondo classes and it is getting hard to get her to pay attention when we are there. It is only twice a week for half an hour each class and she is starting to tell me she doesn’t want to go.
We are taking the rest of the summer off for swim lessons and a family vacation before we start back up in the fall. I just hope she wants to go back when it is time; the class has done wonders with her Cerebral palsy. In the town we live in there are limited options on activities and most of them are sports related. I do eventually want her in sports if she wants but I don’t think she is ready yet.
I am also trying to find ways to keep her attention with her learning at home. I have a tutor for her but I also work with her on math and reading. She only will work for 10 – 15 minutes before she doesn’t want to do it anymore, I try to make it fun but she just wants to play. I have figured out that I can get her to do work two or three times a day but I would like to find the secret to kids attention.
