And if he didn't, I'd let him quit.

I just think every kid is different and every parent needs to know their own kids strengths and weaknesses.

Kimck- thank you so much for this. I think you would parent my DS very well! If I didn't provide support, encouragement, snacks and deliver him to the lesson/practice/meeting with a positive attitude from me, he'd never do much of anything! But we've gotten over many humps in trying new things by this method.
