Please could anyone give me some good ideas, you clever mumsnetters, to encourage my ds3 (7) to go to the 'Mad Science' club that he so desperately wanted to go to until he changed his mind.
This isn't the first time.
He wanted to go to football club. So I paid the fee and on the day of the first lesson he bottled it and didn't want to go. No amount of persuasion from myself or the coach would sway hin. Luckily I got my money back.
He wanted to do 'multisports' with the rest of his class. He was very excited about doing it until the day of the first lesson. He changed his mind.
So when he came home with a letter for a super duper mad science after school club and excitedly declared he 'really wanted to do it', I reminded him of how things had gone previously, but he was 'absolutely sure' this time that he would go.
I paid the rather extortionate fee and it starts this thursday. He now doesn'twant to go.
I am sure he is just nervous and I have told him I will go with him to the first one, but he is adamant he will not go.
Do any of you have any fabulous ideas about how to cajole him into trying it??
