What Would You Do?

We live in an age in which we are told by family, friends and strangers that if our children do not want to participate in a particular sporting activity, we should not force them.  In the general scheme of things, this is good advice. 

Therefore, I have a question for you.  What would you do if your child, who had happily put in the required practices and was really excited about a particular sport, suddenly announced that he/she did not want to do it?
Would you shrug your shoulders and say, “okay?”  Would you ask him/her “why not” and take it from there, or would you say, “Honey, you will be doing it, and that’s that? 
What would you do in a situation like this?

Belarus – Rhombicuboctahedron Building

The top part of the National Library of Belarus in Minsk is in the shape of a Rhombicuboctahedron. That is, it has eight triangular and eighteen square faces. It is said to be one of the best libraries in the world. The National Library of Belarus opened in 1922. However, on the 16th June 2006 a new building, which took several years to complete, was opened. The library has over 8 million items in it, and this includes over 70,000 manuscripts, graphics, visual and audio documents. This twenty-two-story building also has a book museum, twenty reading halls, a sky deck and a center for international meetings and negotiations.   Notes: https://www.belarus.by/en/about-belarus/architecture/national-library https://www.nlb.by/en/about-the-library/
