After school clubs and activities

[Lucycantdance]

My two DSs (5&7) do cricket and swimming. Friends’ kids do tennis, swim squad, beach squad (we’re overseas), cricket and hockey. I’m starting to wonder if I should do more? But what? I’m into happiness and play very much and not a pushy parent but I want them to have opportunities to enjoy and shine at things. Tell me your views?

Mine are too exhausted for after school activities. The 10 year old goes to club 3 times a week where they can do various activities, play football in the garden or play on the X Box. Even that's too much.

I work for an after school club provider (tennis) I know of some children that do 1 hour of tennis a week & nothing else, I know others that do 2 activities a night!
Do whatever makes YOUR children happy & forget about what everyone else does.
Some kids are pushed to do too much & don’t enjoy it while others have limitless energy & love doing all this stuff. As they get older most settle on one or two activities (unless really pushed by their parents)

I dont think its a competition.

If you're kids are happy, thats fine.
