Re: How young is too young?
Out of curiousity, what dosage are you currently taking? I'm getting 1080 mg of EPA and 720 of DHA, but i have no idea if that's a good amount to take. I never knew it helped with weight lifting, what a bonus.Originally Posted by Strike For The South

I take 0 pills of fish oil a day. However, I try to get seafood in my diet frequently, which I find is more helpful, because the protein and good fats in seafood are easier to absorb in food form than in pill form.
Re: How young is too young?
My duaghter loves gymnastics. Its non competitive and its called "parent play". Basically I get in there with there with her and help. She's starting with just her by herself with the teacher and classmates this session. She loves it and when she doesn't want to do it, we go home. My sone plays soccer and is 5. Again, its noncompettitive and teaches kids the basics of kicking, passing, stuff like that. My kids enjoy the activities and its something the whole family can enjoy.
Will I continue to put my kids in sports or arts as they get older? Sure I will, if they want to. My folks let me do all sorts of things when I was young, soccer, baseball, violen, bass guitar, chorus, etc. I have a lot of great memories about these experiences and not once did my folks yell at me for not trying harder or whatever. Those type of parents are crap and they are out there. My kids get my wife and my support, pride, and love. We just want them to enjoy themselves. The only rule we have is one thing at a time. We don't want are kids to be doing 2 or 3 sports and mulitiple arts at the same time.
You guys may not believe this, but I'm very patient with my kids. You guys just get the fall-out from my Buddist like patience around the house!!!

I played the guitar and used to play tennis at the same time. Never had problems with it, nor with school.

Re: How young is too young?
Well, there's been a musical thing called the 'Prinsengracht kinderconcert', which basically is a concert with very young children [ranging from 6 to 12] with musical talent. So when I see these 6-years olds playing a violin like they've been playing for 30 years, I can't help but feel disgusted. I mean, what completely insane parent would press his children to start playing a musical instrument at age 3/4? You may disagree with me, but I hardly think those children have chosen those instruments themselves, or were the first to come up with the idea of doing such a thing.

I was taught chess by my mother when I was about 4. I loved it - so much that I then taught my brother when he was 3 and I was 5. We were both quite good at the game and played up to county level.
Is this disgusting too?

Re: How young is too young?
there are exceptions for every rule....but as a general rule in my experience kids that are highly involved at a competitive level in sports (and or high level music and such) are there most likely because the parents are overdoing it.I was taught chess by my mother when I was about 4. I loved it - so much that I then taught my brother when he was 3 and I was 5. We were both quite good at the game and played up to county level.

I have gone to see a football practice of my little cousin (he´s 5) and while I saw that my uncle only signed him up for it because he like to run around on the field and have fun there were parents there that could have been mistaken for professional coaches....barking orders onto the field like that would make their kid turn into the next Figo or something...
trust me...a lot of those kids weren´t having fun and were not there of their own free will....the look on their faces was all too obvious.

Utterly disgusting. Children should learn to play chess at the age of 1 at the very latest.I was taught chess by my mother when I was about 4. I loved it - so much that I then taught my brother when he was 3 and I was 5. We were both quite good at the game and played up to county level.

I taught my oldest to play it when he was 5. And like you he 'taught' his younger brother who was 3,5 at the time. I still remember the scene. Bubba chose white for himself, put all the pieces in the right spots and informed his brother: 'Mine are white, yours are black. Now the white pieces are the good guys and the black pieces are the bad guys...'
