Lifestyle with child
Seeing my child's interest in superheroes and their stories, i started telling the stories of superheroes to my child and bought him every single hero figure toy and many other toys too. Now, i realized my mistake that i bought him a lot more and he has no interest now to go and play outdoor games or cycling, he is now 5 and half years old. Also he has built the interest in watching tv shows.
How can i improve this situation? I want him to play more outdoor games and i started his karate classes and then dance classes. But after few days, he was not willing to go at any cost.
Kindly advise what should i do to shift his interest.
