[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're doing what you say everyone else is doing but you're confused? Why do you allow your own kids to play sports at that level?[/quote] +1 I grew up in the US and my kids have played one rec sport each through elementary school and high school, skipping a few years here and there. Never have our days been consumed by sports. Curious why yours are so over scheduled. [/quote] Because parents really believe that sports/keeping kids busy is the only way to have healthy in shape kids. They also believe the more activities keeps kids off screens and out of trouble. I don't believe any of this for a second, parents like keeping their kids busy, I also think it's sort of seen as a status symbol for parents. Also college scholarships. [/quote]
