My 12 years old daughter is opposite: only wants to play during the summer.
1) Went to China for 2 weeks
2) One week Badminton and table tennis camp
3) One week horse riding camp
4) 2 days cerficiate of babysitting program
5) One week Web Design & Internet in a university for 6th-9th grade(This is I want her to take)
6) One weekend both dates Cheerlead camp + one week practice
7) Has had 3 sleeping-over + 3 more scheduled.
She has not played Violin so far; played piano a few times.
The big accomplish is that she has built a beautiful two story little house with wood stickers and glue guns. She has made completely sets of furniture and accessories for the living room, kitchen and bedroom fit for the house.
I am pretty sure that she has forgot a lot she learnt at 6th grade. But I can't change her, so I give up.
