[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In minority I’m sure, but I think a lot of good life skills come with having commitments and keeping schedules. My kid is age 7 and does three activities per week in addition to going to after school care. She enjoys her activities (twice a week is a sport she is serious about and she also takes swim lessons). I balance the structured time with her having unstructured play time in the evenings and I have screen rules (example: no screen before 2:00PM on weekends). IMO, it’s a good mix. She has structured activities where she is active, social, and not on a screen. And she has weekend time when she has hours to be creative, play independently, ride her bike, or have a play dates. And she gets screen time. As with everything ….. balance is often a good approach, right? [/quote] Serious about a sport at 7 lol[/quote]
