Maybe Drew's just not cut out for TKD. I'm not sure. Today was his first time back in a while, and while overall he wasn't too bad, he still had his issues. He still was jumping around and not paying attention half the time. He got upset when other kids were putting on their punches and mouthpieces or getting weapons, and he didn't have them. Now, bear in mind, he's not the only one in this position, but he still got upset, because I know he really would like to have punches and mouthpiece. However, at the same time, he doesn't always seem to be so interested in class, and we are paid up for another month. JC thinks that maybe Drew just isn't cut out for TKD, and not interested, and it would be better to put him in something else. I'm not sure. Part of me says (and JC agrees) that Drew doesn't know what he wants as he's only 4 going on 5, and we should make him go. But maybe he also genuinely doesn't like going and we shouldn't force him. It's a real conundrum. I'm not sure what to do. Other kids his age are able to keep up and behave better and pay attention better. I'm not sure if him not paying attention is his sensory issues acting up or not. It's a hard call to make. I don't know what to do. Maybe I'll ask my mom her advice on the subject, since she's had her kids either stick with something or quit stuff. I'm a little disappointed in Drew. Maybe he's just not mature enough for this yet. I mean, if he quit and decided to go back in a few years, I wouldn't object. Or if he quit and picked up something else and stuck with it, that'd be okay too. I just really felt like TKD would be the answer for him. Maybe in time it will be...it's so hard to say. TKD confusion ensues....
