Connor shall soon have three after school activities and I'm wondering if that is too many for a child two months shy of seven?
All of his are independant of school and I'm hoping that way, he makes some friends outside of the playground.
I just don't want him to reach burnout... but at the same time, I don't want him to miss out! Does that make sense? Two of the activities are sport related and the other is Beavers (which he is so excited about!).
Cali...I think it is a good idea for children to have activities outside of school...as you say he will make new friends..
just keep an eye on him and if he seems to be getting overly tired then cut out one of the activities.....too many kids sit indoors on their playstations and dont get the exercise that they need...and especially as so many schools have cut down on their playing fields.
