[quote=Anonymous]DS played a rec sport, baseball or soccer mainly, to be active and learn how to work within a team and to hang out with friends. DS was/is in Scouts. Cub Scouts was twice a week meeting with monthly Pack meetings. He socialized, learned som new skills, was introduced to many different concepts, and enjoyed camping and hiking. He loved it and bridged to Troop with weekly meetings and all sorts of opportunities. He is thriving. DS was in math enrichment. He loves math and the math at school was boring so he took a math class at RSM. He started participating in math competitions and loves them. We limit screen time to 1 hour a day after homework is done and less then that if he has activities going on. He has a good group of friends, is doing well in school, and is well rounded. He has tried different activities and dropped them because he wasn’t interested. The activities he does he chooses. And yes, he is an only so his schedule isn’t a burden. Choose what makes sense for your kid but if they have a ton of screen time, I would limit that. You might need to work to find things to fill in that time if you don’t have a neighborhood with lots of kids at home to go out and play with. [/quote]
