[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sometimes regret not pushing a little harder on sports. My kids weren't interested, we both work full time in DC, and the team practices tended to be immediately after school (they were in SACC until 6 pm), so it was very easy to not bother with it. We put them both in Saturday martial arts, but sometimes I wish we had figured out a way to given them more opportunities. Also, knowing what I know now, I would have started my strings player on private lessons as soon as he picked up his instrument in 5th grade. [/quote] +1 not necessarily team sports but some kind of physical activity. And also force them to learn my parents' language. MSer took three years of Spanish, and likes it that DC can speak another language (albeit not proficiently), and regrets not learning my parents' native language. I offered, but DC pushed back,and I didn't want to force it. Now we all regret it.[/quote]
