[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 187283, member: 1233"] Anything you can afford AND can get her to with-o a major battle works for us. Jess started soccer at 4 (even earlier if we were at her big bro's game and took our eyes off of her, LOL), thank you likes basketball but not every season it is offered (through parks & rec it is 3 X/year, through the Y it is 2X/year). Neither one has been willing to stick it out in scouts. Wiz is seriously into Dungeons and Dragons and Magic the Gathering (hence Wizard), also is into manga. He played soccer for several years. He HATED Scouts. They all love our library programs. Except that I won't let them check books out (refusing to return the books does this). I think it depends on your community, how much $$ you are willing to spend (able to spend) how much time you want to devote (one dance school here is 1 time a week, one is 3 times a week, one is every day and this IS for the younger kids), and if you iwll be willing to drag her there kicking and screaming if she doesn't want to go after you paid for it. So what is available in your area? Oh - here all the martial arts programs offer free outfits with the first month tuition. They also are quite into discipline and not fighting, so this might be good if she enjoyed it. Most give a free class or 2. One of Jessie's classmates is 14 and teaching classes in tae kwon do - she got a black belt at age 10. Not all programs are that intensive. What are her friends involved in? She may be more willing to stick with something if her best friend is doing it. [/QUOTE]
