[quote=Anonymous]There could be so many reasons for this! Age, level of interest in doing activities by the kids, special needs, personality of kids, parent ability to teach/work with kids on activities themselves… My kids are now 11 and 9 and do several activities, but that is entirely because they are interested in them and so I have arranged them. When they were younger, neither were very interested in trying different sports or music or other things - I offered and sometimes did a couple of classes of things but they just weren’t into and I don’t believe in pushing kids into things. As a kid I did music from a young age but literally no other activities ever. I came home after school and read for hours, saw friends or chatted to them on the phone, and that was it. That was all I wanted and I still managed to get into an excellent college, grad school and a great career. [/quote]
