Right now I'd love to put LO in Kindermusik because I know she'd love it. </p> <p>In the future I'll put her in whatever she's interested in as long as we can afford it. I'd be totally cool with sports or dance for boys or girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-registering-your-son-and-daughter-for-different-classes#post-1524452 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 21:00:08 +0000 anonysquire 1524452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a sucker for a littler toddler in a leotard. So hopefully Zuzu will want to do ballet, cheer and gymnastics. I am not a tomboy at all so I will not push her to do soccer and that kind of stuff. DH is a tomboy so he will make all our boys do baseball and football and such. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-registering-your-son-and-daughter-for-different-classes#post-1524436 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 20:52:37 +0000 808love 1524436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter is doing sports for now and I call them 'lessons'. In additions, she's tried ballet and still continuing swim lessons. In the future, we might go to vocal or keyboard/piano lessons. For now, I feel like art and dance can be done by video...but who knows? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-registering-your-son-and-daughter-for-different-classes#post-1524426 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 20:46:50 +0000 daniellemybelle 1524426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only have a girl but both kids will be expected to do one physical activity &amp; one creative/intellectual (though not at the same time necessarily). That will depend on their interests. If we had a little boy that would like dance class, we would do that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-registering-your-son-and-daughter-for-different-classes#post-1524048 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 18:33:36 +0000 chopsuey 1524048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is doing ballet and dance. Both will do art, music, swim, soccer and whatever else theyre interested in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-registering-your-son-and-daughter-for-different-classes#post-1523300 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 14:26:05 +0000 plantains 1523300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is obsessed with dancing and she loves yoga. Daycare always tell me what a great time she has with yoga so I think for her ballet is a given. She has already done some swimming, would love her to do more, and soccer would be great too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-registering-your-son-and-daughter-for-different-classes#post-1519298 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 09:31:37 +0000 Beebug 1519298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swim and gymnastics are pretty much non-negotiable for the first couple years, then let their interests dominate what else they do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-registering-your-son-and-daughter-for-different-classes#post-1519290 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 09:30:10 +0000 mrsmate 1519290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two DDs, but if had a boy I'd try to get everyone into the same activities to maximize hand-me-downs! :wink: Not really, as I'm sure each kid would have their own interests and talents, and DH and I'd do our best to accommodate them all.</p> <p>I didn't play sports but I've been told dance class is great for athletes - it improves coordination, balance, flexibility, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-registering-your-son-and-daughter-for-different-classes#post-1519278 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 09:27:20 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1519278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unless my kids show a distinct interest in specific activities both a boy and girl would start out in soccer, tennis, karate or the kwon do, baseball/ softball, and ballroom dancing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-registering-your-son-and-daughter-for-different-classes#post-1519188 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 09:00:06 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1519188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now she is just doing swim and gymnastics which we would do with a son as well. Pretty soon she wants to start ballet which I doubt we would do with a son unless he had interest. She doesn't have a lot of interest in sports (tball or soccer) but we will probably try to get her involved by kindergarten so she learns some coordination. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-registering-your-son-and-daughter-for-different-classes#post-1519182 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 08:56:07 +0000 regberadaisy 1519182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on the child. If my daughter is a very girly girl then yeah I'll enroll her in ballet/dance, etc. As it stands now she is definitely more of a tomboy and I think the first class we will enroll her in is actually soccer! She has great hand eye coordination; gets it from daddy! And has always been able to throw a ball or kick a ball so I think she will enjoy that the most. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-registering-your-son-and-daughter-for-different-classes#post-1519176 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 08:53:48 +0000 twodoghouse 1519176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll let them choose what they 're interested in. They 're twins though so I want to avoid making them do all the same activities together! Instead we want them to have their own interests, whatever they might be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-registering-your-son-and-daughter-for-different-classes#post-1519170 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 08:48:43 +0000 Mamaof2 1519170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan to enroll them in whatever they ask to take!</p> <p>DS has asked for and done T-Ball, art lessons, ice skating</p> <p>DD is only 3 so she hasn't asked yet but she is taking dance right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-registering-your-son-and-daughter-for-different-classes#post-1519163 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 08:47:05 +0000 sera_87 1519163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be enrolling them in what their interests are, not according to gender stereotypes. So if my son wants to do ballet and my daughter would rather play hockey, that's what they'll be in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-registering-your-son-and-daughter-for-different-classes#post-1519153 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 08:43:40 +0000 Cole 1519153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the only two things we definitely plan to enroll our kids in are swimming and music. Beyond that we will wait to see where their interests are and what the options are that work for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-registering-your-son-and-daughter-for-different-classes#post-1519149 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 08:42:20 +0000 JerricaBenton 1519149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only have a daughter now, but I think we'd just start them out in the same types of activities and then move on based on their individual interests. I wouldn't force any activity they weren't in to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-registering-your-son-and-daughter-for-different-classes#post-1519146 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 08:41:11 +0000 pui 1519146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably let them choose what they want to try (within reason), but I'd expect they'd end up in different classes because I expect them to be different people. I hope both end up in a music class of some sort. I'd actually like to start teaching them singing myself when they get to the right age, boy or girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-registering-your-son-and-daughter-for-different-classes#post-1519141 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 08:39:04 +0000 LuLu Mom 1519141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we plan on putting LO in gymnastics, dance, t-ball, and swim!<br /> Edit: Obviously not at the same time, we do plan on doign gymnastics when she's 2. We were going to start at 18 months but I don't think she's ready yet, even though she would probably enjoy it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-registering-your-son-and-daughter-for-different-classes#post-1519125 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 08:35:31 +0000 Silva 1519125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, i only have a daughter right now- but our plan has always been to enroll our children in dance class (a creative movement style class) for the winter months, and soccer in the summer starting at around age 3 regardless of gender or sex.</p> <p>Once they are older they can pick what they want to do, but until middle school I probably won't let them do more than one class/activity per season. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-registering-your-son-and-daughter-for-different-classes#post-1519124 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 08:35:01 +0000 MrsKoala 1519124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My plan was to enroll a son or daughter in the same activities. My husband and I are both very into athletics so we thought we'd enroll our children in sports and possibly martial arts. We've also thought about music lessons. If they developed any other interests, then we'd go from there but we don't want to make any specific activity become a "girl's" thing or a "boy's" thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-be-registering-your-son-and-daughter-for-different-classes#post-1519113 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 08:32:34 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1519113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For instance many girls take dance while boys do some kind of sport. Since I'm more of a tomboy, I've never envisioned signing Olive up for ballet. I always saw her doing taekwondo, soccer, and softball. Not sure we will ever register her for a dance class.... though the outfits sure are cute!</p> <p>Are you registering your son or daughter in different classes? </p>
