[quote=Anonymous]My 7th grade DS has the same schedule..home at 2:45, sports practice from 5:15-7:45 two weeknights, nothing the other weeknights.

On practice nights:  he grabs a snack and does his homework (not much yet), plays with our puppy (house rule, we all rotate), and then he can do whatever he wants until he has to get ready for practice. Screen time is fine- sometimes will do that, other times shoot hoops etc. After practice, it’s shower snack and bed.

On non practice nights: snack and homework, plays with our puppy, does his chores (he has extra on non practice nights to make up for doing none on practice nights..usually takes 30min). Often tags along to a sibling’s sports game if there is one, where he usually finds other kids to hang out with  (that is what he will be doing tonight). If siblings are home, often shoots hoops with his brother or jumps on the trampoline with his sister, plays wiffle ball with one of them etc. Screens are fine at home if all his responsibilities are completed and he has done something active.

I find late afternoons and evenings go by very fast by we have 3 DC and are always running. School starts early so kids are in bed by 9pm even the middle schooler (he is allowed to read if not tired). [/quote]
