[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]3 boys 9, 6, and 2. Both DH and I work full time, all children are in full time 7:30am-6pm situations (daycare for baby + before and aftercare for older). Local grandparents heavily involved, we do no activities. No sports of any kind, nothing over the weekend. This is how we stay afloat, and it is a lot and I am overwhelmed. [/quote]

If you want to sign them up for an activity that requires no work on your end, piano lessons is a good one. You can find a teacher who will come to your house, and you might even get a bit of a parenting break. Any musical instrument could work.[/quote]

Highly recommend music as well, piano is good to start, but I would lean towards or progress to a band or orchestra instrument because it’s easy to make that into an extracurricular at school down the road which will give you even less of a commute. If your child becomes passionate when he is older about an instrument he can try out for advanced programs like all city or state orchestras etc.[/quote]
