After School Activities - What is Best?
What is best for your child in today's world? Both parents work, we all are not wealthy so what choices do we have? We have to consider who is watching them; do we know them? I think we have to be more careful at what program we decide on.
I believe that safety and keeping our children happy is very important.
For millions of parents around the world when the bell rings their day does not end.
What I mean by that is we cannot leave our jobs to come home and welcome our children at the door.
So, we as parents need to find some activity for our children to participate in to keep them happy and safe.
When kids are finished with school they need activities to keep their minds and bodies busy.
If you are wealthy you sign them up in dance, sports or maybe a music program but, what about the families that are not privileged? Do they go home to be latch key kids, or sit in front of the TV or video game.
We need to get them involved in an after school program that can be run by the school or some other community organization.
It is important for the kids involved that we make sure our government keeps these programs alive.
In these after school programs kids can get tutored or help with there homework.
Do other activities like painting, music or games.
These activities are good for the growth of our children and makes them feel good and important.
Some communities have sports programs that are free or very affordable.
As parents we need to find out what interests your child has to help you decide what program will work best for them.
It doesn't make any sense to sign them up for something just because you think its good.
Besides your child will not get anything out of it and you will end up disappointed.
After school activities can thrive only if backed by sufficient parental involvement as well.
What is a football or soccer game be without any parents to cheer on their little heroes.
I can not stress this note enough nothing is as great when your child looks in the stands or on the sidelines and sees their Mom or Dad there cheering them on.
Now make sure not to put your children in too many activities either for, they still need time to just be kids too.
A little free time every day to play with there friends or watch there favorite show is a good thing.
Your child may not become the next wonder-kid but, let them cultivate an interest that they enjoy.
Remember, happiness and fulfillment is all that matters.
