[quote=Anonymous]Some parents who are quick to guilt people about over scheduling have their own stuff- they have their kids at aftercare until 6 pm for years or let their kids have unlimited access to YouTube or social media. So I don’t take their criticisms seriously and I don’t tell almost anyone my DD’s schedule or the time-consuming activities she does. Anyway, my objectively busy kid seems to really enjoy her downtime up to a certain point. She does crafts, reads a ton, and draws. That’s what most of her friends who do a lot of activities do. In some ways I think it’s easier to fill time with fun activities vs. screens when you don’t have much free time because there’s anticipation and planning involved with how to spend that time. I think middle school is a different beast and keeping kids offline becomes way more important.[/quote]
