My son is a first grader and goes to activities 3 times in the evening(swim , arts, dance) on weekdays and balavihar . I donot do kumon but have tutor come in as I work my time do not permit to sit with him patiently and explain anything ..... I did a bad thing of being open and discussed all these with neighbors and they seem to be exaggerating it and tells me on discussions "Oh if you do that he would start hating them and why do you need tutor in frst garde .....it's expensive" They all do kumons but I don't . He loves swimming and would do it if I can take him everyday . and I do not see him stressed out from those classes ..... He has some focussing troubles too and I thought this activities help him ... Just wanted to hear your opinions ....
Hi, If your son is enjoying these activities and if these are affordable for you then well and good. As a mother if you feel your son needs some assistance and guidance for his studies then arranging a tutor for him is good only.Dont worry on others comments RGDS
