How busy are your kids? Our 8 year old has done it all. Every sport. Every club. Every fine art. Since he was 18 months old. These past couple of years, I've started subtracting stuff rather than adding, and it's EVERYTHING.

My 8 year old revolted a little time ago. He likes time to play on his own. We had times where he had activities every day. He was exhausted and hated it. We have cut WAY back.  He seems happier.  If he says he's bored we remind him its his choice. I think giving them some sense of autonomy is important.

Learning what I can.  Human and dog dad.  Enjoying the land of ham (TN100x), tophats, and the awesome power of The Cabal
