[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 187393, member: 1722"] I, for one, thinking scouting can be very good for a child. It offers a chance to learn skills or try-on activities plus it has a lot of opportunity for socialization. Plus, it's usually not a bad thing if they miss an occasional meeting because they just aren't behaving well that night. I caution, though, that many difficult children resent when Mom is in charge or coaching an activity. Our family rule for sports is that Duckie has two weeks of practice to wash out or she's there for the season. It's not fair to the team and other children on the waiting list if she quits after that. For dance, I ask her instructor when they start work on the recital number, and Duckie's cut-off is one week prior. Again, it wouldn't be fair to her classmates if she quit after that. Interestingly, she's argued about classes and practices, but never quit mid-year because she knows the rule. Have you thought about continuing her in swim lessons since she's done well? How about a kid's bowling league? 4H club? Library after school programs? Any community organizations that offer activities or volunteer opportunities? Art classes? [/QUOTE]
