Now that everything has been closed for ages I'm wondering what is worth reconsidering for the DCs!
DS was doing swimming (but he has SEN and gets anxious and moving to a different day sent him into a spiral of refusal), Cubs (which is the same day as the old swimming group sadly and which was going well, and in theory dancing (but again he was really anxious and kept refusing).
DD was doing ballet (but has refused to do any on Zoom) and girls' football (she has done a tiny bit with DH in the back garden).
DS has dyspraxia and he really needs something to improve his coordination but he's SO anxious around new activities. He's been doing Zoom street dance but the club is 100s of miles away and he's been dancing so the instructor can sometimes see one arm!
He would also be really good at piano (or it would be good for him, one of them!) and a language we learn together if only he'd allow himself to be instructed.
DD is due to start Beavers at least but that's on ballet night so that might die a death. She like DS likes dancing but I don't think ballet is her thing.
Just wondering if everyone is really eager to get back into a routine or if this whole disruption to routine has made you rethink?
We have also had a bad experience with a few clubs for DS (excluded from a few and in one case they moved the time and location and didn't tell us, they told us it was folding!). So I'm very wary especially as we live in a small town.
