Every workaround mentioned in the threads below. We haven’t tested any of them — and nobody here is claiming they worked.

1. 1
   Buying items and putting them in a closet so children eventually ask to borrow them
2. 2
   Using the uncool factor strategically to deter undesirable behaviors
3. 3
   Waiting for children to transition to new interests or hobbies
4. 4
   Stopping forcing the child to participate in the specific activity
5. 5
   Finding alternative physical activities or sports that the child actually enjoys
6. 6
   Pursuing the hobby independently or coaching without the children participating
