offer many benefits for childhood development, there are some children who just don?t want to

rather
take dance lessons, act in a

, learn to paint, or
play
in a band, simply because those are the things they enjoy. however, parents might be concerned that if their kids don?t
play
sports
, they?re missing out on something important. what should parents do if their child would
rather
participate in the arts than
play
sports
? should they encourage their child to
play
sports
anyway, to explore their artistic interests, or both? children choosing the arts over
sports
no

? no problem! 2016-17 cover kid ethan james c. 3 8 b r p a r e n t s . c o m | s e p t e m b e r 2 0 1 7
