7 year old doesn't want to do any extra curricular activities

[Rockybooboo]

Does a year 3 need to do extra curricular activities? She was doing swimming and Brownies but I pulled her out of swimming as they started lessons at school. She didn't like the Brownies that she was in as the leaders were old school but managed to get her into a unit run by someone she knows and likes. She now doesn't want to start there. She doesn't want to anything sporty or drama based. In fact she doesn't want to anything. She's doing well at school and seems to get on with her peers. She's an only child so I'd like to get out.

Can’t see why she’s obliged to do extracurricular activities. Other than swimming, which you have covered, they are supposed to be fun activities and if she doesn’t think they are fun then there is no point to them.

My children don't do any. They don't want to go and I don't want to take them. On weekends and in holidays (I'm a teacher) we go to beaches, the theatre, cook together, go swimming, forest walks, visit the library etc so they get plenty of enrichment. Not a problem in my view.

Maybe she's just happy in her own company I wouldn't worry about it. Alone doesn't necessarily mean lonely.
