Extra-curricular activities

We went to a local dance performance yesterday. My daughter wanted to go because some of her friends were in it. Most of the dancers were children who put a lot of time into dance, like my children put a lot of time into music. They danced very well; it was a good performance and we enjoyed it.

Probably most of the children around here spend a lot of time on some structured activities outside school, such as music, dance, sports, some other sort of clubs.

  • Do you see this as a good or bad thing?
  • If you have children, how do (or how will) you choose which extra-curricular structured activities and how many they do?

I caught a little bit of a Christian radio show about raising kids for true greatness last week.

I think every parent has hopes for their children. And if you aren’t currently raising children maybe you have nieces or nephews or grandchildren you have hopes for.

  • What is it that you most want to see develop in these children as they grow up?
