[quote=Anonymous]Both our kids chose to specialize on their own. We started them on an instrument early but those dropped by upper elementary. Daughter as a toddler, loved classical ballet and son was committed in a stick sport by middle school. I had hoped to travel more with them but ballet especially was a money and time suck. I’m regretful but kids aren’t so who knows if it was worth it. Both learned discipline and like to challenge themselves now intellectually. It has been a lifesaver for DS who has Add. I never realized the value of sports for this. I do think teachers and coaches play a huge role in pushing talented kids too soon to devote too much time to said activity.. [/quote]
