[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, OP, it seems ironic to me that this thread has exactly proven your point about being competitively busy. Of course, the lesson that seems to be repetitive is that your child must be busy doing formal activities, which then allows for them to not participate in any social activities like parties and sleepovers. As long as they have an instrument, a sport, and tutoring, then you aren’t required to ensure they also have a childhood or friends. [/quote] Though, spoken from someone who sounds like they don’t have a kid who does sports. I have 3 kids. 2 are old enough for sports. So we when kid is on a team, my other kids are already friends or make friends with other siblings of kids on the team. So while one kid has a sports game with friends (we coordinate when signing up or even coordinate with tryouts as much as we are able), my other kids have 1-2 hours of total free play outdoors to run & explore with friends.
