[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with most of the elements of this thread. But having grown up UMC, am I the only one inclined to pare down classes / activities for my kids? I spent a ton of time being shuttled around for activities I wasn't particularly interested in. Gymnastics, Ballet, piano camp, drama, soccer. And that was just elementary school. i really enjoyed drama and gymnastics, but could have skipped the rest The test prep was definitely worth the time and effort.[/quote] I guess we pared it down? Our 3 kids each do one sport and one instrument. But their sport requires 2-3x a week attendance so I don’t know how pared down it really is. Plus their weekly music lesson. We also required them to learn to swim when they were little for safety. We also ski and spend most weekends doing that in the winter. But I consider that more of a family activity, though we do put the kids in ski school or private lessons on occasion.[/quote]
