[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't feel like I'm competing to be busy, but competing to [b]make sure my child isn't left behind while all the other children succeed at an extracurricular. [/b]In addition, I want my child to have something to focus on besides school work in high school to keep them busy and out of trouble. Plus, extracurriculars do provide skills that are nice have, some which are better started when the child is young.

Anyway, I have 3 kids and they are just now getting old enough that I worry about how we are going to handle the schedule. To the posters with preschool children, don't kill yourself now, enjoy the family time, it only gets busier in terms of extracurriculars as the kid's get older.[/quote]

So... you’re worried that other kids can play the harmonica and yours can’t? Or that they’re unlikely to be able to access a rare harmonica scholarship or similar grant to a prestigious post secondary institution? [/quote]

Something like that to the first question, not really on the second. I want to give my child an opportunity to be the best they want to be at something they find interesting.  [/quote]
