[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am tired of parents who pride themselves on how busy they and their kids are. It's grating.[/quote]

Yes, it's some weird bage of honor. You're only hurting yourself and your kids.[/quote]

And of course the parents who pride themselves on not doing activities for their kids are also exhausting.  But of course what YOU choose to do is the perfect thing, right?[/quote]

Exactly.  There is over scheduling, under scheduling, and just right scheduling.  And not only is the sweet spot different for each family, it is different for each kid!

The only reason to criticize another family’s scheduled activities or lack thereof is good old fashioned insecurity.[/quote]

Underscheduling? Nothing wrong with not having extracurriculars or having a ton of them.

Of course there is something wrong with not providing an appropriate amount of structured activities for your individual child’s needs.

Some kids are fine with none.  Some kids need that structure.  Again, it is completely child-dependent.[/quote]
