[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's worth it if they like doing it. If you're solely measuring worth by high school continuance or college resume though, not so much. Some will fall off in the transition to high school...replaced by new interests, those solely because of friends are participating, or those you thought they might/should like but never really gained traction with them. [/quote] +1 -- Our youngest of 3 is about to graduate from high school, and I totally agree with this. Really, as your kids get older (our oldest graduated from college 2 years ago), the more you realize that it's futile and just crazy-making to try to orchestrate their entire childhood as a run-up to college admissions. Sure, encourage their talents and interests, be a cheerleader for them, but beyond that, just chill and be grateful for the privilege of seeing them forge their own paths. [/quote]
