Understandably so. Many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything, from organized sports to music, dance and more. But we can overdo it, leaving our children feeling a little burnt out, and according to parent educator Diane Loisie, its their school work which suffers the most. “After school, if they are busy in a number of sporting events, besides, they need to do their homework, then the time they will feel sleepy is in the classroom. Your child needs free time. So if you are filling up that after school time, then it is during the day they are going to be having a break.” Professor Claire McDermott agrees that there is a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away. “Relaxing time is important for children. Its time just to do the things they want to do. A child can go up to their room, or they can play around. It doesnt look like productive time; parents certainly wouldnt be saying “Wow, are they ever leaning things now?” But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day. It helps a child prepare for sleep, but it also helps to understand the learning thats gone on that day.”Its hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons. After all, many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in the great activities in the arts or sports is a part of that. However, Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them. “ When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything, then what were doing is setting them up not be good at one thing or gaining a skill”. So choose your childrens activities wisely. It may be one of the best things youve ever done for your kidsand for the family drivers!1.
