Excelling in studies is undoubtedly important for children these days. To be able to be competitive in everything, especially where academic is concerned is very important if you want to be better than everyone else. It's a dog eat dog's world out there and-excelling academically will give them a good head-start in everything as it will provide them with better opportunities in getting scholarship, sponsorship and whatnot when they're ready to pursue their tertiary education.
However, it is important to remember that as parents, we ought to nurture our children to be a well-rounded person instead of just someone whose nose is stuck in the book. Excelling in exams means nothing if they lack in everything else. Children shouldn't just be book-smart, but street-smart and talented too.
Encouraging them to participate in extra-curricular activities like learning to play some musical instruments or singing will definitely help if you don't want your children to grow up to be just a bore. Singing lessons will definitely be less stressful and much more from than studying, I reckon. I bet lively children will enjoy taking singing lessons should you manage to encourage them to do so.
Would love to let your children take singing lessons but not quite sure where you can get an instructor or tutor for it? Well, fret not,First Tutorshave plenty of tutors who is qualified in giving your children or teenagers singing lessons. All you need is to hop over towww.firsttutors.com/uk. Apart from providing tutors who can tutor your children in the mainstream subjects, First tutors have plenty of tutors who are specialized in teaching kids to play musical instruments as well as teach them how to sing too.
Isn't that great? Well, I certainly think it's great as you don't have to crack your head on where you can find tutors who will be able to teach your children on how to sing. These type of tutors are certainly rare and hard to come by these days.
Sometimes people forget there is more to life than just good grades it school. (though those are of course important)

Great post. I am definitely doing my best to raise my boys into well rounded adults.

I think my daughter would love singing lessons. She is in her youth choir at church and just loves it.

These are awesome reminders!
We will definitely be doing this.
Great post thanks for sharing.
Great info
Great post!! I try and make sure Noah is well rounded.
Those are great suggestions – I like that I am doing many of them already! 🙂
I think exposing them to lots of things helps them figure out their passions!
My daughter loves her piano lessons.
Great post! I didn’t think of some of the points your brought up! 🙂
My son has participated in sports and the arts. He excels in theater/acting, so that is what he does. He takes acting classes and things to improve his skills. It has helped him to win 4H speech contests, too. 🙂 He has taken guitar lessons and we’d like for him to take either violin or piano, sometime soon.
My kids all play sports, my oldest has taken guitar, my daughter is all about the arts
Interesting. Too bad we don’t have much free time.
My toddler is in dance- I’ve been introducing one activity at a time to see what she likes
I would like to get my boys into music.
This is such a great post. I always encouraged my son to try new things, and exposed him to the arts and new experiences as much as possible.
We were just talking today about how we wish we would have put them learning piano when little
I am contemplating homeschooling
Cost can definitely be prohibitive for a lot of these things, but we try to get our kids into activities.
I definitely want my son to try a few different things.
