Forcing kids to do things is never going to work. Rather parents should try to teach kids why they want them to do this or that. I was forced to be a competitive swimmer for my whole childhood. I hated it so much. I'm a damn good swimmer as an adult, but still, I'll never forget the horror of all those early mornings in the summer when my friends were all sleeping in.
