[quote=Anonymous]Swimming is a must--they don't have to have perfect form or be fast but they need to be able to not drown. And if you really can't swim, then yes, you should take a class too.

I think biking is a good thing to know as well (though the 3yo is still young for it of course). It's nice if you can do it because then you can bike together. But it's not a hill to die on for me like swimming is.

Anything else, no, I don't feel compelled to learn. My daughter loves rock climbing and I'm terrified of heights so there's no way I'm doing that! I'm also pretty much tone deaf, so music lessons for me are also a non-starter.

My kids have never wanted me to learn something with them though. We do plenty of activities and projects together, so they're happy to do other stuff without me. That said, we didn't really do much in the way of lessons until they were elementary school age. I'm a little surprised your 7yo isn't feeling peer pressure around swimming or riding a bike though.[/quote]
