[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is saying to not do any activities. This is about a child having an activity each day or multiple activities each day or have multiple games on Saturday for the same sport but different teams.. and that kid missing one game to make another.. that is a problem even if you all face to recognize it.

Also, is there no kid who wants to come home after a long day at school and just decompress and chill.. [/quote]

I fail to recognize a problem I don't actually see. I don't know ONE kid who has multiple activities every day and overlapping sports every weekend. [/quote]

I knew one.  She was one of my daughter’s best friends in elementary school.   For people who have only heard of sports there are other ways to over schedule.  She went to two different dance schools, cheerleading, gymnastics, voice lessons, musical theatre.   She was a Jack of all trades master of none.   Literally never mastered any of them.  And her mother was mean.

The few times she was allowed over our house she was so happy to just hang out.  We took her to a family barbecue once where their small town had fireworks and a carnival.   Things she had never done before.   [/quote]
