Is it really important to enroll your child into extra-curricular classes after school? I have seen many parents send their kids to drawing and dance classes after school.

If your kids have interest and you can afford why not? Just remember 1 thing, don't let it become a force thinking by your kids instead. Do communicate with them to find out their interest and thinking about it.

My sons are coping fine in school w/o any enrichment. They are having swimming and football which if of their own choices no tuition yet but i would think i need to register for my p5 to prep him for PSLE.

my child recently join speech and drama after school, i think he is having fun and found new friends. an hour and half is not bad at all than playing gadgets at home.
