[quote=Anonymous]We were constrained by some after-school logistics, but in general I'd sign my kid up for anything she was interested in from K-2 without any regard for intentionally switching up or continuing some activities.

My DD was in after care, so we didn't do after care + 5 days of activities, but if after care is not a consideration then a different thing every day of the week sounds great for early elementary!

I did make her stick with it for the assigned season, but otherwise didn't steer her to one thing or another. For example, she wanted to try soccer in 2nd grade but then got cold feet before the first practice because she worried she was the only new kid - I didn't let her quit but I let her make her own decision about the following season.

From 3-5, we're a little more intentional about this stuff, particularly as some things become more competitive and/or time intensive.  Like understanding that joining a certain team or group means giving up X or Y, and is she ok with that, etc. etc. [/quote]
