If the kid doesn't want to go to jiu-jitsu but is concerned about his parents' reaction, he could try a few different approaches to communicate his feelings:
1. **Talk Openly**: The kid can explain to his parents that he’s feeling tired or overwhelmed and would appreciate a break. He can mention how he felt after the last session and express his need for some downtime.
2. **Suggest Alternatives**: Instead of outright refusing, he could suggest a compromise—like taking a break this time and planning to return after a few days or trying a different sport or activity for a while.
3. **Express Feelings**: He could share how he feels about jiu-jitsu. Maybe he’s found it challenging or not as enjoyable as he thought. Framing it as needing support or understanding might resonate better with his parents.
4. **Request Support**: If he feels pressure to perform well, he might ask his parents to help him set realistic goals or find ways to make classes more enjoyable.
5. **Address Fear of Reactions**: He might need to acknowledge that he’s worried about their disappointment but emphasize that he wants to be honest with them.
Ultimately, finding the right words to express his feelings in a respectful way will likely help him navigate this tricky situation without causing unnecessary conflict with his parents.
