[quote=Anonymous]A lot of parents disagree with the definition of overscheduling and think that keeping kids scheduled is good for them. One of the sources in the linked article has a blended family of five kids. Stepparents are notorious for pushing back on activities for their stepkids. Also, the author's kids pushed back on comp sports because they dislike competition and prefer to play the ukulele and drums. This is fine for them, but some of our kids thrive on athletic competition. I also think people grossly misunderstand the motives of travel sports parents. Not many parents are signing their kids up for comp sports with the expectation of a college scholarship. We do it because the sport itself is an enjoyable activity. [/quote]
