Activities like sports and movement classes help children practice teamwork, communication, and good sportsmanship\u2014all while having a blast with their friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"s3\"><span class=\"s4\">For busy families, these programs are <\/span><span class=\"s4\">an added bonus<\/span><span class=\"s4\">: since they&#8217;re part of the regular school day, there\u2019s <\/span><span class=\"s2\">no extra driving<\/span><span class=\"s4\">, <\/span><span class=\"s2\">no evening commitments<\/span><span class=\"s4\">, and <\/span><span class=\"s2\">more quality time together at home<\/span><span class=\"s4\">.
