[quote=Anonymous]My rising 4th grade DD:

Ice skating - two weekday afternoons (one group lesson and one private) (school-year round)
Rec Soccer - one weekday afternoon practice and one Sunday game (fall and spring)
Theatre - one weekday evening rehearsal, with one or two additional weekend rehearsals closer to performances (school-year round, only play in winter and one in spring)
Piano - one weekday evening lesson (teach comes to our house) (year round including summer)

Her school ends at 3:15; sometimes I pick her up, but if she takes the bus it's only a 15 minute ride.  Her lights out is at 9:00/9:15, and she has minimal homework (that continues in 4th grade at her school), so she has plenty of time to chill at home, play with her good friend next door, hang out with her little sister, and read.  She loves to read, so is never bored.  She usually does her piano practicing in the morning before school.

I WFH and have flexibility to drive her.  We also carpool.  Everything is also close by.  Also helpful is the fact that my younger child is only 4, and during the week is at a fulltime preschool/daycare.  In other words, I'm only dealing with weekday activities for one child.  (My younger child does a 45 minute dance class Saturday morning and a 30 minute swim lesson Sunday morning.)

We're all happy; I'm not stressed.  DD loves all the activities (well, maybe except piano, which she tolerates  :) .)  It works for us.
