[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since I can't say this in real life, and I am far away from the DMV, I know one kid who does so many activities I don't understand how he is functioning. We are very close with this family, carpool to school everyday and were even in a Covid pod together, so I have a very good understanding of his schedule. He does weekly language class for both French and Mandarin, is on a travel hockey team, weekly piano lessons, weekly tennis lessons, both a fall and spring sport through school and an additional winter only and then summer only sport. Plus he's expected to have straight As in 6th grade, which comes with a lot of homework. Some mornings I pick him up and he looks absolutely exhausted, I hope in the long run he is okay because I don't know how sustainable this is. [/quote]

He will crush your kid [/quote]

PP - I am not concerned one bit about that, I just hope he gets some downtime here and there and doesn't rebel one day. He is allowed 15 minutes twice a week of screen time, that's the extent of free time. My DS is doing just fine, outside of being able to speak 3 languages. [/quote]

Sounds like he could benefit from activities.  [/quote]
