[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It only sounds like a lot because of how you've laid it out. The language "class" is not a class -- it's an activity he's doing with his babysitter. This is like saying he's in an art class because he does art projects with his babysitter.

The soccer is a no-brainer. Piano at 6 is fine though see how it goes -- some kids have no willingness to practice at this age and a weekly piano class with no practice is kind of pointless. It's really the practice that makes learning an instrument feel burdensome. If he actually likes it and practices willingly on a schedule then you might discover you have less time for the other extras.

I also think the tennis is fine but also you might find it's something he does seasonally (just in the summer). But there's no harm in doing it.

This schedule would be a lot harder for an older kid because the classes and practices would be longer and they'd be expected to work on skills on their own too. But for a 6 yr old this is not a big deal.[/quote]
