I remember signing Sapphire up for "Gym and Swim" at the YMCA. 45 min of games in the gym followed by 30 min swim. It was great because not only did the kids get to socialize but so did the parents or guardians.<br />I like your idea of choosing one activity per season. <br />Thanks for your comment!Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574951658108808547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7244647444372740929.post-42511020802191361682010-04-07T12:32:49.489-07:002010-04-07T12:32:49.489-07:00My kids are still young.

The reason I do this is because she is not in daycare and it's a way for her to interact with other kids and have direction from another adult. I agree with you that some parents hyper-parent and I saw a program that these kids have a very difficult time post secondary school...actually after a job interview a parent called the interviewer to see why her child didn't get the job...also parents are calling college professors about their kids. I don't know what the future holds for us but I hope I don't hyper-parent! <br />Love reading your stuff!! :)Nicholenoreply@blogger.com
