[quote=Anonymous]If it’s her passion and only sport, I would let her try it for a year. Conversely my 4th grader does LESS sports than most kids we know and he has 2 baseball practices, 2 games, and 1 lesson per week. He also does 2 - 1 hour swim workouts a week year round - except summer when he swims 6 days a week / no baseball. He doesn’t have a winter sport and asked to add 1-2 more swimming days between baseball seasons. We agreed to 1 more for a total of 3. As long as his friends are at sports, he is happy. If his activities take away from time with friends, then he gets grumpy about it. We have 2 kids that play different sports and each misses dinner at home a few times a week. If i insisted everyone was home for dinner together, my kids would never have any activities. As it is, each kid gets 1:1 time with parent while we take them to activities and stay engaged in what they are working on. [/quote]
