[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a rising second grader as well.  So far she doesn't do any activities, other than a weekly swim lesson this summer, because I can't get her to afterschool activities.  How do you manage that?  Are you able to find afterschool sitters?  [/quote]

We are lucky and have schedules that allow me to be home after school. I have some friends who have college kids who pick up their kids and take them to activities. It sounds like it is hit and miss on a given year because college students are college students and some are more responsible then others. I have heard people say check on Care.com for someone who is willing to watch your kids, like a half time Nanny. But that assumes you can afford hiring someone.

I will say that our ES has a variety of clubs that met after school that she might be interested in. Kids go from the classroom to the activity and then return to aftercare. DSs sports practices and Den meetings start around 5:30 or 6:30 so that might be workable. If you sign her up for something yo might be able to ask for her to be on a team that has practice after a specific time. I know some kids switch teams because of scheduling conflicts.[/quote]
