[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess that it's neighborhood dependent. My friends and I did activities, but we still had plenty of time to hang out and be kids. Activities just didn't take over our lives. We still got all of the life lessons that everyone talks about when talking about ECs. As for the same friend group being a disaster, I don't see it. I had my neighborhood friends and school friends. Usually kept separate, we did different things together.[/quote] So it sounds like you did NOT have only one group of friends. You had at least two and you kept them separate. That was what I was saying is a good idea...having more than one. You got it from the neighborhood, but these days neighborhood and school will overlap for many. ECs are a nice source of different friend groups. What you describe (activities that didn't take over your life) sounds great; a kid doesn't need to entirely limit ECs in order to have hang out time. [/quote]
