Making Wise Decisions
Your child is deciding whether to stay in band or to play lacrosse. It’s a tough choice-but it’s also a good opportunity for him to practice making decisions. Considering different possibilities and picking the best one is a skill he’ll need for middle school and beyond.
Gather information. To make an informed decision, your middle grader needs all the facts. What is the time commitment for each activity? How would he get home after-school practices? Will there be travel to band competitions or to lacrosse tournaments? Suggest that he speak to the band director and the lacrosse coach to get answers to all his questions.
