[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So DC wants to bring instrument + sheet music (to practice and get “really really good at it”), and math workbook (because “math is fun”) on a trip, along with chapter books for reading AND a craft. Yes I do sometimes wonder about ADHD…

Do you let them take “work” on long trips, or encourage them to just soak up vacation and family time? DH says it’s fine, but I wonder if I need to enforce a break. [/quote]

Enforce a break?  If the kid wants it and you have space I don't see a problem.

Is this a 'humble' brag?  My kud us so amazing becsuse he wants to do math and practice his instrument on vacation?

You know this isn't a problem ...lol![/quote]

OP isn't giving out any information, so probably not legit. But it's a problem if your kid is a rigid schedule follower who won't engage in any new activities on vacation and wants to follow the same schedule at home of math books and instrument practice. That's not healthy. Unless you're the type of parents who wants to brag about your kid who can't take a break and obsessively does math workbooks to avoid having to try anything new or break the routine.[/quote]
