[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister has three older kids. They were not intense about activities (kids did whatever gymnastics, dance, sports classes they wanted after school in elementary school, but my sister and her husband work so each kid did 1-2 things of their choice and they coordinated carpools or did activities on weekends.) as the kids entered middle and high school, they were on athletic teams and academic extracurriculars at their private school.

My oldest niece is a freshman at a top tier college (working hard pre-med), middle sibling is among top of their class in eleventh grade, and youngest is in middle school. They’re well adjusted, kind and hard working kids. [/quote]

I have 3 kids. My kids are limited to 2 activities at a time (one sport, one non-sport). While I wouldn't say we're intense, I wouldn't say we are "less scheduled." 3 kids in 2 activities each leaves us with only 1 weeknight where we're not doing something and had it not been for all the rain this past weekend we would have had 8 sports games scheduled over the course of 3 days.[/quote]
