How to help my kids to develop a good hobby ?
-
I just let my kids explore different activities, and see which one they seem to really like and stick with, sometimes they drift in and out of different activities,and I admit, it does get annoying at times, but I rather let them explore instead of forcing them to stick to one, yea just give them time, hopefully soon, they would find their hobby!
-
best way is to follow their inclination i suppose… true passion will drive consistent sustained interest.
-
Try going into different categories, like sports or arts (in the term of crafts) or performing arts! I’m sure they would stick to and love one of the activities and can take up as a hobby!

I think you could talk to her and ask her what she really likes and let her explore to a wide variety of activities available

Its based on their character. Each kid have different abilities. Almost after 5 they will find their own hobby. Don’t restrict them and say don’t do this ,that and all. Let them find their own. Only give them right tips if they are on wrong path.

All children have different choices and different hobbies. You cannot force them anything regarding hobbies. All you can do is make out what things they like to do or are interested in and then motivate them to do something in that field.

How come the ‘head’ got chopped off this thread? I was surprised to see myself as the originator of this thread as I only responded. I can’t remember who began it though.

I was born in a family with a kiasu mother. When I was young, my mother sent me for courses ranging from Calligraphy, violin, piano, painting, swimming, wushu and a few dozen others.
It became so bad that she had to resort to physical punishment to force me to attend/excel in these "hobbies". Eventually , My dad had to step in to stop the nonsense.
I believe what’s important is to understand what your kids enjoy doing and to participate with them along that journey. Be involved and genuinely enjoy the process. -
My DD is into baking big time. I am not sure if it is considered a good hobby because the rest of the family is become fat from eating her creations ! ; )

Reading!
They read almost anything and everything they lay their hands on, so long there are words. Any theme or genre. Fiction, non-fiction, magazines
Speed read too. Devour a Chinese chapter book in 1.5 hour. A thick English book like catching fire finished in an hour & half.
Those books they like, they will read over and over again, easily a dozen times.
Books are cheap babysitter :evil:
