In my opinion, if the kids really like the activity such as basketball, they can go to these classes. They may have some fun as well some skills. I don’t agree that some parents push the kids to take these activities.
There are a lot of ways to relax. I’d like to listen to music or play sports to relax. But my friend, Eric would like to sleep a lot and eat some nice food.
Let kids be kids.
