Description

What is the right way to deal with your kids wanting to quit a sport or an extracurricular activity?

Whether it's their first year doing it, or they've been working at it for a decade, it can be a difficult territory for parents and kids to navigate.

Sport NZ surveys show kids from 5 to 11 are usually the most active participants in sport, while there is a big dropoff once they reach ages 15 to 17.

So, keep dragging unwilling kids to their sports or let them let it go?
