tennis gear for kids
At what age did you start sports and other activities for your child?

My son is 3 years old. He’s done the infant mommy and me singing/art/gymboree type classes. At age 2 years, he was in toddler soccer which went way over his head (seemed geared for 3-4 year olds).

I’d like to put him in different activities, but I don’t want to pressure him or overwhelm him. So I’m a little curious. At what age did you start your kids on the following activities, if any at all?

Swimming
Music Lessons
Sports lessons (Tennis, golf, soccer, etc)
PeeWee/Little League (football, baseball, etc.)
Martial Arts (karate, kung fu, etc.)
Anything else?

I have a 5 year old niece who’s been in swimming and karate since the age of 3 and tennis since age 4. So at age 5, in addition to kindergarten, she’s in swimming, tennis, and karate. And her mom wants to put her in piano classes. To me that seems like a lot…3-4 extra curricular activities in addition to school at age 5? Is that normal?

How much is too much (or too little)?

Thanks…

I think your niece is involved in a bit much. Most of the parents at my daycare have a rule of thumb, one activity per season. Kids can try 4 things per year and nto be overwhelmed and give their all at each one.
My daughter will start Swimming this spring (age 2) and dance next fall/winter (2.5). Until she is a little older, that is all she will participate in.

It will be their personal storage area.

Personalized Kid Lockers

We have found that children will become enamored with their Kids Lockers. They consider them to be personal and frequently the lockers are decorated with elaborate designs, stickers or drawings. Personalizing their own lockers, children are making a statement that to all who enter his or her bedroom that this “property” is theirs. The most cherished toys and games will be guarded in this personal and almost indestructible piece of furniture. Your child will view his or her locker to be the perfect guardian of his or her valuable possessions.

Sturdy Locker Construction

They are made from industrial sheet steel and are tough and durable, qualities necessary to withstand the use and abuse from children. They will simply outlast the childhood years of your children. When your children have outgrown their lockers then Dad can move them to the garage to store his fishing gear or tennis equipment. What a great long term solution !

Locker Choices and Amenities

You have a choice of louvered or solid door construction and our lockers come equipped with recessed latches and number plates. These lockers come outfitted with a recessed shelf, 2 single and 1 double coat hooks, the 4′ 5″ and 15″ wide units are available in 30 vibrant color choices. As a bonus, various types of locks can be used with the recessed latches so now your daughter can lock up her toys and play-things from her brothers! How many arguments and fights will that prevent?

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge…
