i learned that down time is important for kids thanks
Children need down time just like the rest of us. They are so over scheduled that they burn out just as we do. It is ok to let them be kids. they do not have to be in every sport, after school activity, or advanced class. It’s ok to let them find out who they are. Not what we want them to be. We should never put undo pressure on them. There’s enough of that in school (and out) as it is. I know as an adult, it’s very difficult to juggle everyday activities. With the goals of helping our children to be well educated, community involved, and sports minded….maybe parents should sit down and communicate, not dictate. Children are very intelligent from the early years of development. They will find where their dreams lead and we can guide them to excel and achieve.
