Understandably, your child may have enthusiastically signed up for a number of activities at the clubs fare or accumulated them over the course of their freshman year. In the beginning, it’s relatively easy to continue showing up for these activities without questioning their purpose. However as the semesters ware on, it’s important to stop and evaluate. Encourage your student to take time and determine which of their groups are of value and which they want to focus on as high school progresses. This may mean dropping a club membership or sports team. Despite common belief, doing this doesn’t damage resumes or chances in the way some parents and students may think. Quitting or stepping back from an activity actually shows maturity and self-awareness. Taking stock in this way proves that a student is cognizant of the value of each commitment and is able to judge whether they’re getting the most out of a sport or club. By consolidating their activities, students can also create time to expand the activities they’re passionate about, pursue leadership positions, or simply be able to participate with a bit of a clearer head. Knowing this, how can a high schooler figure out which teams and clubs are worth sticking with and which are worth quitting?
