[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think that’s too much (it actually too little for piano and language).  As for the sports if I could do it all over again I would intensely focus on the movement sports (swimming, dance,  wrestling, ice skating/hockey and  gymnastics) until 4th grade.  The ball sports (soccer, basketball, baseball, football) are really jus social events until 4th grade (which is fine if that’s what you want but don’t get it mixed up with actual sports training).

PROTIP:  first grade is an excellent time to decide if you’re going to be a music family.  Some people get lucky and they get kids who are naturally inclined to play music.  For the rest of us you sort of have to ram in down their throats until they get the basics down.   [/quote]

I don’t agree with your ball sports comment. Tennis in particular absolutely dialed in my son’s hand eye coordination. Baseball also. [/quote]

Another PP who doesn't agree with the ball sports comment. Softball was great for my kids in 2nd and 3rd.[/quote]
