Children often lose interest in extracurricular activities they once enjoyed. Parents should investigate why by talking to their child and teachers to understand if issues like class structure, discipline, attention from teachers, social pressures from lack of friends, or pain from the activity are factors. If changes can't resolve the resistance, it may be best to withdraw the child from the activity and allow them to pursue it again later if interest returns. Forcing participation will only reduce happiness and enthusiasm for supposed 'extra' activities.
