Does your child do after school activities?

Mine are involved in Tee-Ball and Softball. They are also in Team Kids and the Children's Choir at church. They are kind of wanting to add gymnastics and piano. I don't want them getting too involved with too much going on and neglect their school. Maybe in a few weeks when they are out of school for the summer, we will add something else.

I think it's really easy to overschedule kids. Because of this, and because I have six kids and have neither the time nor the money for unlimited activities, we limit them. When they start school, they can choose one activity per school year. My oldest is in 5th grade, and their school starts school based sports at that point, so in addition to soccer she plays basketball and runs track for the school team. She's also in GT. All of that keeps her, and me, busy. My next 2 children play soccer. My 4th child decided not to do anything this year.

My daughters do before and after school things that the school itself offers. During the morning they go to choir and reading clubs on certain days. During the fall and winter the go to gymnastics at the school and math club.

my children both take music lessons (one guitar and one voice) and we have a wed night kids club at our church and thats it. i cannot see running them all over the place and plus we want them to have some free time of their own.
