It’s not always easy to know what’s right for your child, and what might be too much. This can help.
Tips on Choosing Extracurricular Activtivies
1. Make sure its an interest of theirs, and not just your dream. Let them explore their talents! They may be the next big actor, style icon, or tech designer. These activities will help shape your child’s growing abilities.
2. Can you afford it- over time? Consider the expense, and if they take a shine to it, can you afford it long term? It’s a tough question but something that has to be mulled over.
3. Time/Commitment- Do you have the time? Do they? Is it year-round? Will it interfere with other schedules? Don’t over schedule you or your child. As much fun as extracurriculars can be, everyone needs a little free time to breathe.
4. Purpose- Why are you signing them up for this activity? To fill time? Because other friends are doing it? Make sure it’s a good reason!
