[quote=Anonymous]"Overscheduled" implies that there is a problem. It refers to a kid who doesn't get enough free play time, is resentful or overwhelmed by the activities they are in, or has academic or social problems as a result of their activities schedule. If your kid doesn't have any problems, she's not over scheduled, she's correctly scheduled. Different kids are different and need different things. I have one kid who complained to me about not getting enough time to just play and hang out in her room during the week, so I canceled the activity she liked the least (Girl Scouts) so that she has an extra afternoon a week to relax at home. Now she's happier. But if your kid isn't complaining, it's fine.[/quote]
