[quote=Anonymous]Everyone says it's bad for kids to have too many structured extracurriculars, but why? My kid does two activities 3 days a week each and I don't see what's wrong with it. She loves the activities and isn't ready to choose between them yet. She also does an instrument that has a lesson once a week and she practices every day. When she's not at her activities she's having unstructured play -- she doesn't watch tv or have an iPad. Is there any actual research that says having lots of activities is bad for kids? [/quote]
