[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. DD gets plenty of outdoor unstructured time. Evenings before/after dinner, many mornings before preschool, one hour at preschool, and a big chunk of weekends as we prioritize hiking and backyard play dates with family and friends.

After seeing the feedback I think we might skip dance class for now and stick to the three prior activities. Drive time is not a concern. I already mentioned that the activities are close, and her preschool is also a 3-5 min drive. So she’ll get a max of 20 min car time per day.

She is an only child right now but getting a sibling in Feb. Will cut down on activities then so she can bond with her sibling. I do plan to get a FT nanny as well, so if she does want to continue all of them, it won’t be a logistical issue.

Yes she still naps. I think it’s good for kids to nap as long as they can, so I’ll continue to encourage and facilitate it until she no longer wants to (or until K starts).

Thanks all!

It seems that you should just do what works for you. Why ask a bunch of anonymous people what do to do who aren't you? My son is in child care 9-5:30 every day and still has swim twice a week and soccer on weekends.  Also, he still naps and is 5, although that will go next month in preparation for Kindergarten.
