Are you hesitating between piano practice and swimming lessons for your children? Here are the questions to ask yourself according to different values:

Family

What day are the lessons? Does their duration interfere with the possibility of carrying out family activities or visiting grandparents on weekends?

Traditions

Will the course taken allow your children to perpetuate a family tradition? Would you like to pass on the love of music or your swimming skills to your offspring?

The fun and the slow

Which activity is more fun for children? Does one of the two courses offered force them to sacrifice another activity that they enjoy?

health

Does the chosen activity allow all members of the family to move or does it force the parents or certain children to wait until the end of the lesson, sitting quietly in the waiting room or on the stands?
