[quote=Anonymous]Mine is one who is very very happy being scheduled and having a sport or activity (or two!) every day. But I don't fully pack his schedule because 1) I think he needs downtime to veg, even if he might not think so, and 2) To do things well, he needs time for that. Right now his "thing to do well" is string instrument ensemble. So he spends 2-3 hours per week on that (private lesson and ensemble), but to get through all his rep he needs to practice at least 25 minutes a day. To do it reasonably well, he needs to be doing more. The kids have similar needs with sports. If he took football, he'd have to have 2x/week practice with the team, plus I'm sure they'd encourage throwing the ball around once or twice a week. Swimming, soccer, golf, chess, math competition, or tennis - same story. I think it's great to let kids try a variety of things, but I'm also happy to encourage that one of those things be done well.[/quote]
