[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s tough with sports but kids do it so they might have better advice. My advice - don’t do everything at once. What season does your son play his sports? Could he devote more time to his leadership activities in the off-season?[/quote] It's EXTREMELY difficult. And I worry about my kid doing too much. It's almost like they have to choose between things, even when they have multiple interests (like mine does). And it sucks. [/quote] And I'll note that the coaches and teacher advisors don't help. Everything is "this activity needs to be the priority and if it's not you won't [letter/get credit/ be permitted to participate]." There's VERY little flexibility to allow kids to try different things, or recognize some kids have an interest but may not want to dedicate themselves full time to the Green Club or other clubs, and then they get spread way too thin. This is the time to try things! And yet they can't do it.[/quote]
