Dd1 started playing the violin at the beginning of Yr 2 and really liked it.
Now she's coming to the end of Yr 3 she's not so keen because none of her friends are doing it and she sometimes misses playtime. She's sort of okay to carry on with the lessons, but really wants to stop orchestra which is on for an hour after school on Friday.
I want her to continue both lessons and orchestra. Am I wrong to make her?

Do you think it's worthwhile to "force" children to continue playing an instrument, even when they go through a not so keen phase?
