You're very true! It's wonderful to witness their excitement as they find their niche and develop skills along the way.
Some fun ECAs that seem to cater to a variety of interests are:
- Cooking/Baking classes: Little ones can learn healthy eating habits and it's a great confidence booster too!
- Art & Crafting sessions: These often uncover hidden talents and encourage creativity.
- Sports Clubs: Great for gross motor skills, teamwork and keeping active. Swimming, soccer and basketball are usually big hits!
- Dance classes: A fun way to stay fit, express themselves and learn some rhythm and blues. Ballet, jazz, hip hop - so many options!
- Drama/Music: Nurtures confidence, communication skills and also allows kids to develop stage presence. Plus, tons of fun too!
The key is to find something that aligns with their interests and then it becomes so much easier to keep them engaged and motivated. It's a lovely journey!
