Should I sign my 5yo for hockey this winter?
Hello
I asked last year about encouraging my daughter in hockey practice and received many useful comment. Now it's another season, I am not sure if I should sign her up again. So what happened last season was, she liked skating, she enjoyed the game sometime but she's not excited to go to hockey. Last year she played with boys and this year I am wondering if it will be better if I sign her up to girls team (the reason I didn't do it last year was I didn't expect boys this young can already play rough and girls team is in another city).
She loves skating, but absolutely dislike figure skating lesson that's why I didn't put her in hockey last year and not figure skating. The reason I want to sign up her in hockey is because I know she likes skating, and I am also hoping the sport can train her to be tough and resilient. She is consider a more shy and introvert person and I am hoping being in a sport team can help her be more confident. But also kind worried if it will have a opposite effect. Another thing is, we can't always go to free skating as a family due to the time availability here.
So I am now deciding if I should sign her up this year or wait another year to try. Oh and I already asked her about going to hockey. She's exciting about skating and playing game part, but not so exciting about holding her hockey stick @-@.
Thank you for reading my post.
