[quote=Anonymous]We're "less scheduled" than others we know, simply because we can't handle more, from a stress and executive function perspective. High school was very stressful for my oldest, who has learning disabilities and needed accommodations in school. He did nothing else apart from schoolwork and it was still very difficult for him. My youngest has a medical issue that is exacerbated by fatigue and stress, and we are deliberately trying to give her balanced school experience, even though she's very competitive and does well. She has a couple of extra-curriculars, one of which is rigorous. That's all she can reasonably handle. [/quote]
