So DD is 13 almost 14 . She used to play a lot the flute grade 5 be part of orchestra and be in a swim club train 3-4 times a week. Covid hit and she has kept up playing still her flute maybe not as much but is working towards grade 6 . Swim training she only does occasionally since pools opened, reading books is like pulling teeth and generally there aren't any other interest bar from obviously clothes a bit of make up and hair , friends and of course her phone and online gaming. I have tried to encourage her to read more or swim more and asked about other sports or interests but she is just not that interested . Question is this something I need to worry about ? Should I push her more or do I leave it as she is a teen and also it's holiday time and she will get motivated alone when she is ready?
