Feel quite sad that my 7 year old DD no longer wants to play with any toys or do crafts etc. Isn’t 7 years old far too young to grow out of toys? I’m sure I was still playing with barbies age 10.
All she seems to enjoy doing is going on the iPod (limited use) and dancing/listening to music. She’s not very outdoorsy, though I am so this is encouraged. Hates all sports/bikes/scooters/rollerblades anything like that. Just feel like I’ve failed a bit.
She is very sociable but would much rather sit and gossip with friends rather than enjoy an activity together. She tells me sometimes she spends lunchbreaks at school alone to avoid the ‘baby’ games like tag, what’s the time mr wolf etc.
Has anyone else experienced this with a young child? I have no idea what I can do to rein it back but I feel awful like all childhood things are passing her by!
