My son is approaching two years old. I know it is early at this point, but what age can your child start music lessons or sports like t-ball or soccer?

Hi,

Suzuki teachers take children as young as three and the children do amazingly well; other than that, I'd say when he expresses an interest.  As far as sports, since most are done as teams and children don't really function as part of a group until they are a little older, I'd say you have several years to go.  You could check the youth league in your area to find out what the minimum ages are for t-ball (a wonderful starter sport) and maybe go to a game or two to see how the children playing are or aren't enjoying it, and compare what you see to your son's development as he grows.

There are a lot of music classes that start at this age or younger. Tball and soccer don`t usually start until 4 or older but look around your area for a little kids gym or kids sports (like we have something called soccer tots - really cute)

It is never too early to start preparing them for music lessons and/or sports. Playing at home with instruments and dancing, and playing with balls outside and learning to follow directions will get them started, and give you an idea of what they might be interested in or good at. You can start the teacher/student experiance as early as you want with parent-tot swim lessons, and as early as 2 with gymnastics.
