[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid doesn't really have weekday downtime after school. It's a lot with two working parents, but honestly, at home she is generally clamoring for TV, and I would much rather her do an activity than get sucked into that. [/quote] Ah. Pp here. Different for us. Downtime is all creative play and crafts, legos and reading whatever the latest book the oldest is into and playing with her sibling. By choice and very much like her parents at that age. [/quote] You already said your kids aren’t athletic, so this makes sense. It would be wrong to push them into sports when they clearly prefer calmer activities. Some kids are like that. Others are in constant motion. When left to make their own choices they want to kick or throw a ball, wrestle, and run around. So sports it is for us. Different kids need different things. As long as you’re following your kids’ lead it’s all fine.[/quote]
