Moms Talk: Extracurricular Activities

Join this week's discussion.

How important is it to have your children involved in school activities, sports, youth groups and other extracurricular activities?

As a mother of two children, I think its highly important for them to stay involved in sports and school activities. I think it's good for kids as well as parents. The children get to interact with other kids their ages and parents meet other parents. With the childhood obesity rate growing higher each year, it is definitely important to keep children busy outside instead of watching TV indoors. The more active children are, in my opinion, the happier they are. I would love to hear other moms voice their opinions about keeping kids active and the best extracurricular activities children can participate in Barrow County.
