[quote=Anonymous]“We are not pushy parents so we let him quit after a few weeks or months.” If he’s in a once a week activity and he quits by week 3, of course he won’t get decent at anything and won’t like it. Push through until the end of that activity, at least. My kindergartener took 11 week tennis and he knew before signing up that he’d be obligated to stay enrolled for the whole session. You also listed a bunch of group activities that are probably somewhat chaotic, loud, or disorienting: Scouts, soccer, swim, after school program. After being in school all day (a lot of noise and stimulation), those activities may be too much. The quieter activities you chose (piano, chess), he may simply be too young to appreciate. [/quote]
