[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also when did activities become some sort of childhood necessity? I didn't grow up with many kids who did activities.[/quote] It was a thing even when I was a child in the 80s. My sister was a cheerleader, I played softball, we both played musical instruments.[/quote] Same. I was a child in the 70s. My siblings and I all had music lessons, I briefly played soccer but my brother and sister did it longer + softball/baseball and brother did flag football briefly before really getting into martial arts. We did clubs at school. Played instruments in middle-high school band. Our friends all did the same. But there was not the option to do things at such an intense level as now. You did soccer in the Fall and then softball/baseball in the Spring. No year-round training in one sport with travel clubs. [/quote]
