Extra-curricular Fun

Choosing an after-school activity for your child.

When choosing an after-school activity for their children, most parents take into consideration age and interests above everything else. For some, it’s a matter of ensuring they’re happy and satisfied rather than imposing a certain activity, while others prefer to take the lead when it comes to choosing the right after-school game plan. Either way, there are some key decisions to be made, and Mother, Baby & Child will help you find the right after school fun for your child:

Ask them what they’d like to do. This is the easiest way to gauge your child’s interest in certain activities which you may think are suitable for them. Remember, this is a long-term decision, so the last thing you need is spending good dirhams on something that will last only for two weeks.

Observe and analyse their interests. Apart from what they like to do, what are they good at? Is your child good at putting on a show? Then they must join drama classes! Do they like to move around and bounce off the walls? Then gymnastics would be a good option. It’s all about putting their energy to good use.
