[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like an outlier but I personally would recommend not adding many activities after school if he's in preschool til 2p. That's usually enough organized activity for a 4 year old. Swim makes sense but I intentionally don't add a lot more because from what I've read kids really need a lot of downtime, free play, and I am trying to enjoy this time as a family where we don't have a lot of activities we have to be at at a certain time as I know that time will come in a few years.

More time at home and with family is usually a good thing especially at these ages. But I realize I'm an outlier in this area as it's become the norm to do these things earlier and earlier, but most child development professionals don't necessarily recommend it. My 4.5 year old is in preschool 9-3 and we do swim lessons once a week, going to stop for winter and spring and resume in the summer probably. [/quote]
I agree.  Maybe something once a week, but low-key and not highly structured.  [/quote]
