From the article: Choosing Activities for Your Kids' Schedule
Drum lessons, travel soccer, Irish step-dancing? Is there an activity that you wish your kids were not involved in?
Kids try so many activities, but they are not all hits. Sometimes kids find out they have no inclination for a sport or other activity. But sometimes we parents wish we'd never said yes. Maybe it's the commute or perhaps we're on the hook for loads of fundraising. But sometimes we can see that our child is just not thriving in the activity. Tell Us
Too many art classes
- My daughter had been taking art classes at a high school for the arts after school every year since 5th grade. It was a great program, but it was kind of far from her school, so it was always a rush to get her there. Little did I know that in 8th grade the program changed to twice a week. I just signed her up as usual without really reading the material. I was quite surprised when we received the schedule of classes!
