[quote=Anonymous]Swimming and ballet have been huge hits in our household. We started swimming as a life skill but it's turned into way more -- my DD once told me that swim practice is the one place where her mind can just relax and she forgets about stressful stuff at school or with her friends. She actually inspired me to start swimming for fitness once a week because I could see how relaxing it was for her. I love she'll be able to do it for life.

Ballet has been great because it combines multiple interests -- music, dance, theater/expression. We found a great small studio near our house that is not competitive or toxic at all. The instructors are kind and supportive and knowledgeable, there's no toxic attitudes about bodies or weight, the focus is just on ballet as an art form and refining technique. No competitions.

The rest of my kids' activities are through school -- newspaper, school play, etc. We somehow missed Girl Scouts and I used to feel bad about it but now I've heard from others what a time suck it can be and how stuff like the cookie sales becomes stressful and I'm glad. [/quote]
