[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son plays all the rec league sports all year long plus one travel sport, which works for him and for me because I'm an introvert and I work a lot.

Will this approach work for my younger daughter? Say she does ballet and gymnastics plus we put her in team sports throughout the year?  Is that enough for girls to form a social group?  I literally hate organizing playdates and my limited time off. We usually spend our weekends at our older kid's sports games, or skiing or hiking. [/quote]

Yes. Do this. I’m a huge introvert and signed DD up for those types of things from the beginning of K, starting with rec soccer. Luckily she ended up loving sports and plays different rec things year round. She also tried several dance classes over the year. My daughter is super extroverted and has a huge group of friends. She’s now in 5th and I have no idea if she’s “cool” or not, but she’s constantly on FaceTime these days chatting with different kids from school. They love the group calls. I truly don’t care if she’s popular but care very much that she’s happy and has friends. [/quote]
