We downsized some extracurriculars last year and it really has been for the best. Thanks for posting this well thought out article.

My son recently wrote a comic book and is slowly developing it into a series; I don't know of any Comic Book Writers Class he could have done this in, and I'm proud to see him exploring some off-the-beaten-path creative areas that he discovered through free play. I'm glad to hear your girls are having similar discoveries.
