[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. That is a lot. At that age, our kids did only 1 sport. Played with neighborhood kids the rest of the days.

Is your child an only, or no kids in neighborhood? If that's the case, I understand all the activities.

As an aside, kids experience burn out, too. They need downtime the same as we do. Sometimes its good to have them learn to entertain themselves and use their imagination. Many studies and articles written on the value of child-led play and creative time. [/quote]

My kid is an only.  We moved to a great neighborhood but...there are no kids! I know they are around, but they seem to pull into the garage and we never see them.  Hoping that the school year presents the opportunity to make some neighborhood friends.  As for playdates, we always seem to have 1-2 on the weekends.  The activity is just an hour...there are 23 more hours to fill on each day of the weekend.  After soccer we normally go the playground and meet friends there. The only 2x week thing is flag football but for K-1 league, the practice an the game are both on Sunday, for a total of one hour of activity.  We don't do anything religious, so there's no conflict.
