[quote=Anonymous]We have designed a solution for this that may be a bit unorthodox. We both don't get home until 6 pm and school, as you know, lets out around 3 pm. My mother lives with us, so she walks to pick up our son from his ES two blocks away. He has a snack, relaxes, plays a bit. Then, we have structured all his extracurricular activities to be taught by tutors that come to the house, so that he doesn't have to go anywhere. In that way, we were able to fit in quite a bit - one language tutor comes in twice a week, and a musical instrument tutor comes in twice a week as well. He takes one sport and that's his one weekend activity. It costs quite a bit but really cuts down on stress. By the time we come home, he has played, read, did his extracurriculars, practiced his instrument for 30 minutes and dinner is in the oven. [/quote]
