How to find after
school activities
Start off by making enquiries. Nothing can beat the power of
information.
Approach the school authorities first. Find out if they are offering
any
after school activities. Get a list of the various classes that are
available in your school. In case the school does not provide any
extracurricular activities for the child, approach your neighbors.
Collect
information about any after school programs, the quality of the
courses
taught and the timings etc. Also, check out some of the community
resources. These may include places of worship, community centers,
Museums, libraries, the YMCA, The Boys and Girls Club etc.
After you have colleted all the necessary information, discuss the
various
options with your child. Find out what his interests are. The best
way to
find out what is most suitable is to ask your child. When little
children
are too small, you cannot completely rely on their feedback. In this
case,
monitor the development of the child on a regular basis. If the
child
shows excessive resistance to an activity, it may be necessary to
look for other options. Always consider your family's schedule when
planning the extracurricular activities. If it is difficult for you
to chauffeur your
child, you may want to employ tutors at home or conduct some
activity at home itself.
