[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, to be honest I would say you’re putting him at a disadvantage. But that said, do I ultimately think it will be okay? Yes. [/quote] It’s really this. I didn’t enroll my oldest in anything for K or 1st. He was exhausted, school was an adjustment and as the other poster said, ultimately he was fine. And then came child 2. I enrolled in rec soccer from the start in k. A one hour practice and one hour game is really nothing. Socially, it made the adjustment to school so much easier because the kids became friends. There just isn’t a lot of time to socialize in school. I made sure that child participated in 1 rec sport for fall, winter and spring for the early elementary years. It was usually soccer and basketball. I wouldn’t of done this if she hated it but she liked being with the other kids and it was strictly for the social benefit. [/quote]
