Little ones are often told to try their hardest at new pursuits but one person has advised parents that kids should always be encouraged to try new activities, even if they're not good at them!
Bruce Reyes-Chow, a pastor at Mission Bay Community Church in the US, told the San Francisco Chronicle that there is joy to be found in many pursuits.
Mr Chow said attempting value for money activities that little ones may not be good at is aN antidote to a hyper-competitive, time-poor society.
He said parents can help their kids to enjoy a variety of pursuits by reminding them that their skill level does not define their worth and they are there to be enjoyed.
Caregivers can also try new activities themselves even if they are not good at them and are fearful of looking foolish. Doing this will offer a positive image to their children.
In addition, Dr Miriam Stoppard said that little ones who take part in sport learn how to work as a team.
