Well, the time is finally coming near. The kid's activities are starting to stack up. With so much talk recently of having kids do too much, I have to wonder what you all use to draw the line.
My daughter will be in dance, gymnastics, kids chorus after school, science club, and possibly now girl scouts. She is starting first grade in the fall, so full school days are also here. We ask her if she wants to drop any of them, and she usually says no.
My son will be in soccer, gymnastics, and 9 hours a week of preschool.
The only person that seems to be overwhelmed at times is me. I volunteer one day a week at my daughter's class, one day a month at my son's preschool, try to sell fire equipment from my home, do all the manly stuff around the house, and if I am really lucky, I get to fight a fire.
To paraphrase a famous cartoonist, "The days are just packed!"
So, when does giving your child experiences turn into driving your child too hard?
