[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Drop something that the kids don't want to do.

DS, 6, is in Scouts (which he loves), Baseball (which he loves), Coding club after school (he asks for it). We have offered music and he has said he is not interested. We have suggested piano, guitar, and drums but he has said no to all of them. So we don't do music.

Granted, it is easier when it is one kid (obviously) but we don't make him do something he does not want to to. Well, except swimming. He has to take swim lessons.

So ask you kids what one thing that they want to do and let them choose. Drop the rest.[/quote]

My kids only do activities they want to do. They do chess club and art at school and love it. Music is at school and they like it. We had private lessons but teacher had a baby so currently only at school. I don’t think each individual kid is necessarily doing too much.

I, the mom, am the one having a hard time juggling the activities of these three children.

I would love to drop scouts and sports.[/quote]

Are you car pooling? 
How many sports are we talking? [/quote]

Only 1 sport per season per kid. No regular carpooling. Just ask and do favors as needed.[/quote]
