[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. My kids are almost grown. I told them they get one -- yes, one -- activity that I am driving them each to during the week. So choose wisely. And I was a SAHM. One kid picked music. The other kid picked STEM/art activities. It forced each of our kids to figure out what they like the most, and go with that. And they got good at it. Made for good thing to reference on college applications.[/quote] This isn't a solution that would work for us to cut down the time commitment. One kid is a competitive gymnast, has 3 practices per week and occasional meets. Another is a travel baseball players with 2-3 practices a week and weekend tournaments. One activity hardly means they are doing 1 thing a week. I have a 3rd just getting started in activities and I hope he picks one of the activities his sibling does for economies of scale. [/quote]
