Proud Parent
Just my opinion, but I would never tell a young child that they can quit anything if they want too. You are setting yourself up for some serious problems later on in life.
You would force your child into a very costly, time consuming, and demanding sport that they clearly expressed a desire not to do? I just don't get that. Little kids should be allowed to explore activities to find one they want to commit to. There is a girl at DDs gym that is forced to stay because her sister trains also, and because her parents are concerned about her figure if she stops. This girl doesn't give her all in practice or meets, doesn't show up for other activities, and spends more time pouting than training. Everyone just shakes their heads that her parents continue to pay so much money for that- a gym membership would be cheaper, and so would almost any other recreation she wants to take up.
Eta: I could understand with a higher level child, with tons of time, money, and heart put into the sport already- wanting to make sure they are really done. A young L4 is only at the beginning, and everything goes up from there- time, money, energy, commitment. It seems if it's wrong now, it's a good place to back away.
