[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some good points made on this thread. The other thing I want to throw out is - it’s okay to limit your kids activities not because it’s too much for her, but because it’s too much for you. Really. Even if she thrives being busy, you can set some limits. If those four days are four activities, you can require her to pick only 2 or 3. You’re a person too and your preferences matter, plus, I think a less stressed mom is actually better for kids than a third or fourth activity. [/quote] I know, I know. I just hate limiting DC. I think a better solution is to spend my time differently while DC is in activities[/quote] As a parent with older kids, you will BOTH be ok if you have a blanket rule- only 1 or two activities per season. And/or carpool is required. Families with multiple kids do this and everyone is happier for it. Trust me![/quote]
