[quote=Anonymous]I would start with life skills classes sooner, rather than later. As others have said, swimming is one of them. The intent is not to turn your kid into the next Michael Phelps, but to teach them water safety, and give them the skills to survive in water. If they take to it and end up wanting to be on a swim team, that's bonus. For me, the only other one, is martial arts. I want my child to have the skills to react on auto pilot (so to speak) in difficult situations, because she has experience with it. Beyond that, I think it's helpful to expose them to a bunch of stuff, when they're 4-5 years old. Dance classes, sports camps, gymnastics, cooking, that sort of thing (we use summer camps for this). Instruments, a little later (except the piano, which is easier for younger kids), maybe by 6-7. [/quote]
