[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just more context - with Karate, we are in a little dojo community - honestly it is the first activity I'd drop but it's probably his favorite. We also have a little friend group from there.

Dance - he did a week of hip hop camp and loved it.  Dance seems like a fun skill to have even in adulthood, so I signed him up.

Parkour - This would be a new one for us.  DS is pretty terrible at all things climbing, and I have seen him get left out on the playground before bc he cannot keep up with the other kids, so I thought this might help him.

Soccer - it is not league.  It's through a private group that organizes lessons at various parks around the area.  So it's our same little group and it only meets once weekly, and I am friends with all the parents and we often do something social after.  There are no games besides games they play against each other.

Flag football - I thought I'd give this a shot to give DS some exposure to a league/competitive sport.  A friend of mine does it with her kids and she says the kids really enjoy themselves.  I also like that the practice and the game are on the same day, so it's only a 1x week commitment.  DH is deployed but even when he is in town he is not much of a "throw the football around" guy, so I thought DS might benefit from learning the game a little since it's so big here.

I work very much full time btw, not sure why that matters but someone said something upthread. [/quote]

Did your child have a choice in any of these activities, or did you just sign him up? Because for a kid who isn't good at climbing, I think Parkour is setting him up to be miserable. He might hate it. [/quote]
