[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in the DMV area and the other day our neighbor whose kids are similar in age to ours shared all the activities they participated in. Six activities to include a reading/math enhancement class. He said "everyone" has their kid in this extra enrichment class. DD did a sport this fall and does music (previously tried Girls scouts and didn't like it). DS is in K and will try a sport this spring. We want to let our kids be kids but is "everyone" really doing all these activities? Also logistically a challenge for DH and I since we both work full time with no family help. Thanks for your thoughts![/quote]

You have to look at your child and their interests.  Some kids thrive on being busy and some need more downtime.  My kids are quite scheduled but they like everything they do so far.

Monday - DS11 in AOPS for language arts
Tuesday - DS11 and DD6 both in tennis
Wednesday - DS11 in a language class and basketball
Thursday - DS11 and DD6 both in Russian School of Math
Friday - DD6 in a language class
Saturday - DS11 has a basketball game

It looks like a lot and it probably is...I would love to be able to add a music class and DD6 has been asking for ice skating and art but where is the time?
