[quote=Anonymous]I agree with a PP that commitment is good. But in her case (1 sport with 2 practices plus a swim reason), I wouldn’t call that spread between 3 activities. That is 2 activities with a total of 3 sessions per week which is average to low for activity level. I do absolutely agree that kids and their parents should have more follow through. If you commit to a sports team, you should have to comm it to those practices and the games and not skip every third game to go to a different sport or quit mid season because it’s not your favorite activity. My kid is in math, instrument lesson, cello youth orchestra and swim. All once per week and only math and orchestra are an hour or more. Most of his classmates are in more activities and some sport teams meet for 2 hours at a time. I am thinking of adding a sport class once per week because they are switching from gym 4x/week at school to 2-3x. [/quote]
