Lost interest because she didn't want crafts/parties, or because she didn't want STEM activities? (Curious, sentence wasn't clear to me)


Thanks. Lost interest because she didn't want to make crafts and cookies. And it was a bit surprising, since we live in a neighborhood where there are plenty of girls, and moms, who are interested in STEM.

And I'm not sure it's a bad thing to have activities for kids that are not 100% STEM focused. I think you don't push STEM by pushing STEM at a young age, but by encouraging curiosity, exploration, reasoning, etc.
