My daughter will be 4 in April this year and starts school in Sept. At the moment she attends a preschool for 4 morning each week. The rest of the time she is with me and her brother. We go to the park, watch TV, go shopping, feed the ducks, meet other friends etc the rest of the time and she goes to one gym 'club' each week for preschool kids.
I am coming into contact with other mums at her preschool who take their kids to swimming lessons, ballet lessons etc etc and I wondering if my daughter is missing out.
She is a happy, confident and chatty little girl who will talk to people (unprompted by me). I feel that all this extra curricular stuff is too much for her, hence the reason for not sending her. But wonder what other peoples views are on this?
I did not go to all these type of things but can swim, dance and did well at school and university. Is it necessary or are parents being too pushy??? /i feel there is plenty of time to try out all these things.
Views please? To help with the dilemma!
