[QUOTE="klmno, post: 342755, member: 3699"] I agree- you've handled this well. When I first posted I had overlooked that he's only 9 yo. I had gotten frustrated beofre with my son because of the various activities/sports he'd tried but not stuck to as long term commitments, but was reminded by a therapist that elementary school is the time for kids to get exposure to a variety of things- we parents really shouldn't expect that an interest they have in elementary school will necessarily turn into a long term, much less life-long, interest or commitment. In the long run it is still beneifical for the child to have the experience. I too think it is great that he could and did articulate his concerns about staying in this, and think it's great that he knows you listened and handled it appropriately. This will; probably pay off in much bigger ways than any belt could down the road. [/QUOTE]
