Poll: How many extra-curricular activities do your children do?

Nicola Brennan-Tupara Reporter from Rotorua News

Hey Neighbours,
Term three is well underway, and we would love to know how many extra-curricular activities your children are taking part in this term.

Do you think children should play a sport/learn an instrument/commit to extra study after school? Or do you think after school hours should be dedicated to the likes of resting, homework or doing chores?

What do your children take part in and why?
Is there too much pressure on parents to sign children up for activities, or do the benefits outweigh the negatives?
## Note your comments may be used in print unless you write NFP##
