[quote=Anonymous]The answer will differ for different families. Don’t do anything only because it will optimize college admissions. Don’t do anything that makes you feel really stressed out unless your child enjoys it. I was a SAHM so had plenty of flexibility with schedule. DD did ballet, gymnastics and Girl Scouts weekly for years. Is she involved in any of those now? Nope. Do I think they were a waste? Not all all. In the moment she loved them. My DSs did baseball, soccer and basketball. One took piano and did mad science too. They wanted to do these things so it was time well spent. The people I know who regretted activities were those who chose them with an eye towards college applications or pushed their kids into activities they didn’t want to do or were indifferent about.
