[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 392464, member: 4040"] Is this something that would change her life for the better? Would she carry this sense of accomplishment with her for the rest of her life, remembering that "I did this, and so I can probably do that?" If it would be a long term benefit for her, I'd push. Miss KT had been in karate for years, steadily improving, but was nervous about testing for her black belt, so she wanted to quit before then. I wouldn't let her. I held her to it, taking her to classes three and four days a week, listened to her complain complain complain about it, but in the end, she earned her black belt. I let her quit soon afterwards, because she started high school and marching band took up most of her time. However, she still has the pride in her accomplishment, even though it was more than five years ago. [/QUOTE]
