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.

Pls understand tht ur child has limitations. All kids have different intelligence. Like some are linear (can be good at regular methods of learning) thinkers or some are kinesthetic ( like to paint, keep moving, use their hands in a lot of things)...if u Google search the 9 kinds of intelligence in kids, u will get to know how many different ways a child can be unique. Pls don't try to fit ur kid into a set mould that all are trying to fit theirs into. Learn by observation how unique your kid is and try to enhance that. Maybe right now your child may go along for all this but what if he/she is just not interested. From early on you will unknowingly make your kid kill it's own interests to try and please you by doing what you want...it's not wrong on your part to think in that way becoz we parents want what's best for our kids. But we parents can at least try to find what interests our child and do accordingly. Pls don't mind if I'm too outspoken on this....
