They can chose what they want to do, but it has to be active.

She took them last year, but quit for a bit and now is excited to be in the "big kids" class. <BR/><BR/>I don't believe in pushing kids into tons of activities. I hate to see little kids screaming and crying at some lesson because they just don't want to be there. <BR/><BR/>I don't think anything is wrong with a gentle nudge to get involved in something. But forcing? No. Although I definitely will push my kids to be active in general. <BR/><BR/>I also had to chuckle about one comment you made. I know what you meant, but one sentence reads "I spent 2 hrs in the gym with 3 children in stilettos". I immediately got this picture of 3 little kids wearing stilettos and I laughed out loud. Sorry, not to make fun, believe me, I do the same thing ALL the time. I just thought it sounded funny!<BR/><BR/>Take care!Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01270545811471785078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5940227370112378709.post-69689570139322999212008-02-21T13:44:00.000-05:002008-02-21T13:44:00.000-05:00Want to trade?
