[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, my kids are like yours.

For those saying they have to pick one thing... can you be more specific?  Like is it good enough to pick a rec center class that meets once a week?  Or taking once a week private instrument lessons?

What do you mean when you say "pick one thing."?[/quote]

We said it had to satisfy a few parameters of the following parameters: build a skill, build leadership experience, has socialization benefits, (later) builds college "resume", provides exercise.

Non- sports that satisfied: Model UN, Lego club, scouts, theatre, band/orchestra/chorus, church youth group, science Olympiad..........

DC1 chose scouts, orchestra and church youth group
DC2 chose scouts, baseball umpiring, and church youth group

Others we know:
A: chose orchestra, scouts and fencing
B: band, student leadership, theatre
C: counts band, theatre, church youth group
D: band, sailing, scouts, church youth group
E: Orchestra, church youth group........
