Our 3 year old son does not seem at all interested in learning new things, for example, we have been trying to get him to learn to ride a bicycle (with training wheels), learning to play baseball (at least to hit the ball with bat), swimming. He has no desire. For the swimming, my parents have a pool, I try to encourage him to wear the arm floaties or his life jacket, he won't wear either. Tonight we were at a community pool, he was the only person in the baby pool. He will try to ride his bike for about 2 minutes if that and says "I'm done" and that is the end of that. I am disappointed when I see children younger then him or children his same age doing things that he can't or won't do. I understand all children learn at different stages and rates. I am concerned this might turn out to be something more. Is this something to be worried about, could this just be phase he is going through? Any suggestions on getting him more interested in trying new things?
