[quote=Anonymous]The alternative is to stay inside and watch tv, play on iPad, eat too much etc. Your kid isn’t always studying academics or playing outside with friends. It’s a way to get them outside and being physically active. I ran track and cross country in middle and high school. I don’t have weight problems. Not getting your kid involved in some kind of physical activity is bad parenting in my opinion. Plenty of white peoples on our rec soccer teams are doing it for fun and to have our kids exercise. It’s like 4-5 months out of the year if they play soccer in the fall and spring. My kids also went to kumon for a while and I noticed a lot of the Indian families had their kid enrolled in Kumon and karate. Group sports are also important. My husband who is fist generation Asian wanted to do karate and kumon because he thinks karate will teach them discipline to study or concentrate or something like that. Soccer helps my boys fit in better at school. They love playing it everyday at school. [/quote]
