[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, it sounds like you are trying to schedule fun in small increments between lots of obligations. That doesn't sound fun. Busy adults do this stuff and convince themselves it's great because it's efficient, but your 7 year old is letting you know it's not great. No one wants to hear "ok we will have fun for 20 minutes and then back to the grind!" It might be how you live because that's how you get through a life full of obligations. But a 7 yr old isn't built for that. She wants to actually relax, and she doesn't want to stop doing a fun activity right when it was starting to get really enjoyable. Can you really not find a full hour to do a fun activity between school, work, practice, homework, and bed? That's the issue -- you only have 20 minutes.[/quote]
