[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I not only think overscheduling is killing childhood, but the screens are out of control. [/quote]

Interesting, because most people would say my kid is overscheduled, but it prevents her from being on screens for more than 30 minutes most days[/quote]

People use overschedulig to try to curb screen time. For some reason, it's easier than just setting limits. [/quote]

If your kids enjoy activities and you can do it, why would you say no?   [/quote]

Logistics, there are plenty of reasons to say no to specific activities without saying no to all activities.[/quote]

Ok, but that's your particular situation and that's ok but if other families can make it work, and do, where is the issue?  Or, is the issue you want to justify not having your kids in activities or looking for free child care via other parents sending your kids to their house calling it a playdate.[/quote]

You asked me why parents would say no and I said logistics. Even if parents can make things work it's ok to say no. And I'm not looking for free childcare. [/quote]

Yes, it's ok to say no, but many parents enjoy seeing their kids enjoy their hobbies and do well.  So, why would we say no?  Just to make someone like you happy?[/quote]
