Cincinnati & NKY Guide to Kids Activities

Local Mom Tips to Consider when Choosing the Best Kids Activities

• What time commitment are you seeking and/or able to accommodate? Extra-curriculars are often worth the investment, but you do need to be realistic about what makes the most sense for your life and your child. Many kids activities meet weekly, some have flexibility, while some require a greater time commitment.
• Location and budget. Like it or not, logistics DO matter, especially if your little one falls in love with what they are doing and wants to keep going!
• What are your goals? Are you hoping to expose your child to the arts, encourage their creative interests, get them moving? When they are smaller and don’t know what to ask for, the activities chosen will reflect our goals as parents. (i.e. swim lessons for swim safety!)
• Consider limiting activities to keep it reasonable for both them and you. As your child grows, you may consider an approach where your child can pick one athletic and one non-athletic extra-curricular.
• Follow their lead! After all – it’s their activity and should reflect their interests!

It isn’t just learning how to sing, dance and act…It’s about gaining confidence, learning life skills and keeping your children active.
