9 yr old: tennis x3, swim team x2, instrument x1

I supplement math and formal writing/grammar lessons at home.

That seems like a lot depending on how long these activities are and the energy level of your kid. Also depends on the commute IMO. I try to stick to activities nearby but it’s not always possible. Mine is almost 10:

Sun- 30min swim lesson or sport game during season
Mon-violin lesson 45mins
Tue- nothing or sport practice in season
Wed- nothing
Thu- math 2 hours
Fri- activity once a month
Sat- 1.5 hours orchestra

My 10 year old is high energy and an only child. His schedule changes regularly as he drops or adds but he typically has something every day except one in the week and that works fine for us. Some kids have different needs.

For us: Monday is music and then scouts. Tuesday is music. Wednesday soccer. Nothing Thursday or Fridays for now. Saturday is soccer. Sunday is football. Scouts has one weekend camp or activity per month usually. Sometimes school clubs have morning or afternoon meetings. He stays busy but he is happy. And its not chaotic. He does all homework on Thursday usually.

If 3 and 4 year olds have money to pay they’ll take the kid. That’s the age where they love to do worksheets with mom or dad. That time frame where they closely sit with you doesn’t last very long, I worked with mine until about 2nd grade. Saved a lot of time and money.

4yo has M: Kumon, W: Kumon, F: Taekwondo, S: Baseball.

He won’t be able to do well at anything except math. Everything else he’ll be mediocre at best.

Sounds insane.
My 7-year old goes to after care at school, and does musical theatre on Sunday.

This is a joke, right? Isn't Kumon a math center? Do they even take 4 year olds? Or do you mean 14 year old?

11 year old has soccer Friday and Saturday, flag football Sunday, social group Wednesday, band Tuesday, Student Council Thursday! I guess that’s a lot but he has plenty of time to hang out. He did a play in winter which was almost every day after school.
8 year old only has soccer Wednesday and Saturday.

You’re going to burn out your child.

Your poor children. My kid comes homes and plays. Then he does his homework and chores. He does one activity each week- rock climbing. I cannot imagine it is healthy to be on the go all of the time like that.
