A big part of who people are is based mainly on the hobbies they developed as children. Through hobbies we are able to meet like-minded people, express ourselves and also able to relax and have some fun. However, finding a practical hobby at an early age can be challenging. This could be mainly because the child is unable to express their feelings and thoughts which make it difficult for them to determine which hobbies they would enjoy the most.

one common mistake parents gravitate towards is signing up their children for several activities and hobbies at the same time. While your intentions as a parent maybe innocent and focused on helping your children learn new things, this can overburden and overwhelm them. In turn this is likely to make them resent all of the activities. Instead of having fun and exploring them, these activities will be considered a tedious task that they need to get over with
a parent’s first instinct is to jump in and help their children as soon as they start finding for a hobby that they would enjoy. Instead, parents need to stand back and let the little ones explore different hobbies by themselves. Let the children take charge and decide for themselves if they like an activity or not. If they like doing something like painting, they will keep doing it, and if not, then they will move on to the next hobby.
Very often parents think that for children to be sure that they like a specific activity they need to stick with it for some time.

Even though this is not wrong and can also help in getting them interested in the new activity, it is important to find something that makes the children happy. It is suggested that parents listen to their kids and also trust them when they say they want to do one thing and don’t like doing another. Remember that you are trying to find a hobby for your children and not for you.
