My 12 yr old ds may be developing a bad habit. If it's too much effort, or takes to much time, he doesn't want to continue. Case in points: Saxophone for 2 years - quit; football for 3 years - quit; guitar for 1 year - quit, now he's been in the boy scouts for 1 1/2 years and he wants to, you guessed it, quit. My sister seems to think that kids these days don't want to continue with anything if some effort is involved. I guess I'm wondering if I need to be a little tougher and not allow him to quit. But then on the flip side, I want him to try new things knowing that it is up to him to continue.
How do you handle similar situations?
