[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think I get where you are coming from. Partly it is the pressure of our surroundings because it seems every kid is into something. But I think back on my childhood and I really did nothing and frankly, it didn't really matter. My life is not any worse than people who grew up spending an enormous amount of time and money in some sport. I also have gone through a lot of hardship recently. Those, added to the RTO order we are under, has put me in survival mode. It really made me reevaluate what really matters. I want to spend time with my kids, so more family outings, share what I know about the world with them, introduce them to music and theater. The other things are really not that important. What you ultimately want is a well adjusted, independent kid, who has a good relationship with you. Extracurriculars are NOT really relevant to that goal. [/quote]
