That's the major thing holding me back from signing her up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/class-overlap#post-2190033 Tue, 26 May 2015 21:12:10 +0000 Truth Bombs 2190033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My concern wouldn't be the physical demands (my kid has no problem running on the playground for an hour and a half so I think two classes would be fine)... But mental. I don't know if my LO could focus and listen nicely to instructions for that long of a time in a row. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/class-overlap#post-2189991 Tue, 26 May 2015 20:22:07 +0000 jhd 2189991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go for it. Sounds like she would really enjoy the class! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/class-overlap#post-2189987 Tue, 26 May 2015 20:20:42 +0000 mrsjazz 2189987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: ha. The rock climbing was not a mommy approved activity! She does have a lot of energy, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/class-overlap#post-2189980 Tue, 26 May 2015 20:11:25 +0000 anbanan15 2189980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: In that case I would think she would be fine for 3 weeks! Sounds like you already take her for some pretty physical activities following dance class already. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/class-overlap#post-2189950 Tue, 26 May 2015 19:32:37 +0000 mrsjazz 2189950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: Dance is 40 minutes and gymnastics is 45. She has tons of energy so we usually go get a treat and then to the playground if the weather is nice. She doesn't nap on the weekend. Last week she had dance class and then DH took her rock climbing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/class-overlap#post-2189917 Tue, 26 May 2015 19:07:08 +0000 anbanan15 2189917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long are the classes? I think if she is very active and the classes are not too long, then she could probably handle it for 3 weeks. How is she usually after dance? Tired of still ready to go? </p> <p>My 4 yr old could probably benefit from back to back classes :silly: knock the kid out so mama can sleep for once! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/class-overlap#post-2189911 Tue, 26 May 2015 18:57:48 +0000 mrsjazz 2189911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: She loves her dance class, even though she spends parts of it tumbling on the floor. One plus side is maybe she'll nap for a change on the weekend?</p> <p>Still torn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/class-overlap#post-2189906 Tue, 26 May 2015 18:51:47 +0000 daniellemybelle 2189906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably wouldn't do two physically active classes back to back like that. But you know your kid! Could you "drop out" of dance the last three weeks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/class-overlap#post-2189893 Tue, 26 May 2015 18:26:54 +0000 mrsjazz 2189893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is currently in a weekend dance class (starts at 10 am) that ends at the end of June. We really want to put her in a gymnastics class because she flips onto the couch and tumbles all over the living room floor. We showed her a couple of videos and she really wants to do it. We talked about putting her in the summer session after dance class ends.</p> <p>The gymnastics place just released their summer session and the class would start 15 minutes after dance class for the 10-week summer session, with 3 of the classes (dance and then gymnastics) overlapping (first 3 in June). </p> <p>We don't want her to be over scheduled. We could wait and get her into a fall session. Do you think a 3-year-old can handle two classes back to back for 3 sessions? Or would you wait? Also, the classes are a block a way from each other so no worries about travel time. </p>
