[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only specific thing we pushed was swim—because it’s a safety issue. We do want them to be active in general. If they don’t want to do a sport or class; then they have to agree to do bike rides and dog walks and shoot hoops. [/quote] Agree on swimming. I have a mix of kids. One was into organized sports - gymnastics and dance since third grade and will be continuing in college. One did track for a year in MS because we insisted. He went to vo tech and developed a great crowd that still hangs out a decade after HS graduation. They do car meet ups, race car driving and other adult only things. This one has amazing work ethic and is the nicest and kindest person I’ve ever met. Third was a party kid - never missed a school dance or an opportunity to engage in school spirit activities. And more difficult things. And all three grew up fine. They’re awesome, successful, productive and happy adults who know how to swim. [/quote]
