[quote=Anonymous]We started our three kids in activities at that age because they're fun. It's fun to kick a ball around and jump on gymnastics equipment. We did playdates too, so it's not either/or. We also wanted to start the process of finding the things they liked to do, so by the time they were in late elementary they could build friendships and skills around that. We hit on winners with 2 of them almost right away and they've been doing the same things ever since (gymnastics and dance). With the 3rd kid, it took some time and trying one new activity after another before she found something she wanted to spend her energy on. In hindsight we could have waited to start with the first 2 kids but with the 3rd, we'd still be on sport #4 out of the 7 she ended up trying and now that she's in middle school, we're doubly glad she had the time to settle into her chosen sport so she could develop a group of friends on a team outside of school.[/quote]
