One of them has been signed to a semi pro football team after a 3 year break! Just think of it more as a break rather than him quitting because give it 6 months and he will probably decide he misses rugby or piano and go back to it OR he may take up another hobby of his choice.ĭD (16) has lots of male friends who have quit rugby, footy etc and not played for a couple of years then started again when theyve felt ready. Sounds like hes getting bored with them now. If your son wants to drop his hobbies then i do think you should respect his wishes. This is where they start to make their own mind up about stuff and I personally think that theres no harm in him having a break from footy.not sure other half would agree though lol. He starts high school in a couple of weeks and I think its an awkard age for them.not quite a teen but definitley not a baby anymore. Never missed a game or training session unless he was ill or weve been on holiday. Other half wants him to stick at it but hes played since he was 5/6 years old. We can just tell because his head isnt in it anymore, theres no passion like there used to be. My sons 11 and hes only really got one hobby which is football but hes losing interest in that now. I know I should do more activity now but my childhood experience was so bad that it's put me off for life, very damaging. I refused tennis that my mum would have liked me to do but I knew I would be useless at it. I was the big girl with all the younger ones, not good. Remembering back, I persisted with music but gave up brownies and dancing, again making no progress.

Unfortunately I do think they do get to a stage with this sort of thing and I'm not sure persisting is helpful, it means you're not listening to what they're saying about their free time and, frankly, mine are so tired after school, I think they just need to unwind. They do play with their school friends online which seems strange to me as I'm an older parent but they do like it and, in its way, it is social, just not what I grew up with. My dd gave up ballet, didn't like and not progressing, actually if it's not their thing I think that does damage their self esteem. We've given up swimming as well, they can swim well enough but the lessons lost their appeal. It's been their choice of instrument, not keen on practice but have made quicker progress in the early stages than on the piano which I think helps (school music thinks this as well). They play in band (last week did a week of music making) and my eldest, the trumpet player, is leader of the school orchestra this year. Would he try a band or orchestral instrument? Both mine have given up piano as they didn't like it much but have done really well with brass - ive got a trumpet player and a trombone player. Piano is not a social instrument, it's a solo instrument.
He has my sympathy with that as extra sport would have been my idea of hell, I'm not sporty, diagnosed with dyspraxia in adulthood. However it could well be that he’s at an age where he would rather hang out with friends?ĭoesn't sound like he likes sport much. I think having a serious chat with your son to make sure it’s not just a decision made in haste and maybe a discussion on what else is available that he can do.

She occasionally hints that she would like to do dancing instead, but I think I have swayed her by saying it would take her a long time to get to a similar level to gymnastics, and showing her gymnastics competitions on the tv really helps. She also does gymnastics where she is doing really well. She now goes to brownies instead which she is enjoying so far. I always wanted her to learn the basics and know the dangers of water and she surpassed that. My DD decided she no longer wanted to have swimming lessons, so after a long chat and a few weeks to think it over, she was sure she wanted to give it up and like your son, she was confident with her swimming. I don’t think you can force a child into sticking to a hobby if they are adamant they don’t want to do it.
