[quote=Anonymous]I grew up poor and didn't do any organized activities. However, I played outside with my friends every single day. I think that informal play helped me as much as any organized activity - with social skills, conflict resolution, confidence, and physical fitness. When I was a teen I started working - babysitting, fast food, working in a nursing home. That experience also taught me valuable skills - being dependable, working hard, taking pride in my work and in my independence. There are lots of ways to help your child mature that don't always involve formal activities. [/quote]
