DD has always been an outgoing sort, and I signed her up to a drama class after school as I was sure she'd love it (she has 'put on shows' at home for as long as I can remember). She was originally quite keen on the idea.
She was on the waiting list and joined a bit later than the rest - the first week she left the class in tears as she had been hungry (bad mummy forgot to pack a snack), and since then she hasn't really been joining in at all with any of it. The drama teacher has said she'll try to work on bringing DD into the class a bit more, but DD insists she doesn't like it and 'just doesn't get on with drama in general'.
Conversely, DD absolutely loves a Spanish class that she does after school and would happily do it every day, which I wasn't expecting.
What I'm not sure about is whether to pull her out after four lessons, or to insist she carries on with it for a bit longer - she doesn't 'need' to do it (although the extra time for me is a huge help as it means I can leave work later) but I'm a bit conflicted - I don't want her to get the idea that she can pick up and drop activities on a whim; but neither do I want her to sit on the sidelines every week feeling upset, which is no fun for her or the teachers - I've taught drama in the past myself. In general DD is going through a really shy phase and talks a lot about having no friends at school - not sure if this is part of the same thing?
It's quite small, but a dilemma nonetheless!
