Circles and sections for children

• When choosing additional classes, parents should take an interest in the wishes of the child and take into account his interests. Tell your son or daughter about existing circles, classes in them and new skills. At the same time, do not impose your own opinion and do not try to realize your dreams through children. Let your child pick a lesson to your liking.
• In the choice of the circle should not focus on fashion. If girlfriends of the daughter go to dances, it does not mean at all that your girl should go on them too, especially if her daughter has no inclination to do such things. Incorrectly chosen section will be a source of stress and burden for the child.
• Be sure to consider the temperament of the son or daughter. If the child is active, he will not accept chess, and quiet and shy children will be uncomfortable in a circus studio.
• Pay attention to the location of the section or group, since you will have to organize your day schedule according to the schedule of extra classes. Think about who will drive the child to the circle, whether it will not interfere with homework due to wasting time on the road.
• An important factor in choosing a suitable group will be the cost of classes. Many schools, children's clubs, houses of culture and other institutions offer free circles. Classes in them can not be inferior to expensive paid lessons. Most of the sections and circles at the end of the summer or in September organize an open day or offer a free trial lesson. This will help determine the right choice, as well as meet with teachers.
• If the child likes to draw, but he does not like coloring and patterns, suggest the kid to go to art classes. At the same time try to pick a group that is attended by a maximum of 10 children. Also, children who like to draw, you can offer to do computer animation.
• Very active children who enjoy rivalry with others are best at playing sports. Choosing a sports section, pay attention to the qualifications of the instructor, as well as adequately assess the health of your child.
• Children who like music should think about singing or playing an instrument. Watching music lessons should be, if the kid liked the rhythm in kindergarten, he easily remembers melodies and songs.

And a few more tips:

• If the child retired to go to one circle and went to another section, and then went there, he didn’t like to go there, do not scold him. Allow your daughter or son to look for yourself and do not blame the cost of courses.
• Always praise the child for success and do not focus on failures. Let him know that even in situations where he does not succeed, you consider him a good man.

And remember that there should not be too many sections and circles. Otherwise, the story turns out, as in the transfer of "Ural dumplings."
