My child is involved in a lot of activities. What’s so bad about missing a few classes while she
does these other things?

Children are involved in a great many activities nowadays. While it is important to help a child
discover what is enjoyable to them, sometimes being over scheduled can limit the level of
excellence a child can achieve. Often we can develop life lessons from seemingly unrelated
things; dancers learn that accomplishments are achieved over time and with hard work and
dedication By missing classes your child does not hear important information, must always catch
up to the level of the other students and may not understand the importance of focusing energy
and completing a task.   Every activity—gymnastics, sports, academics—requires an increasing
level of participation as the child matures. Dance is no different, and we expect nothing less than
what other activities demand.  We as parents must help our children to make often difficult
decision in cases of conflicting activities
