Current rule is 1 activity at a time. Little one spends 30 minutes a week in Gymnastics. Maybe someday it will turn to ballet. Who knows.
You have to set some kind of limit, or you get activity creep. Oh you need a sport. And something musical. And something social. Blah!!!
Maybe 1 isn't the perfect number, but 5 seems a bit unhealthy for almost anyone (unless the kid is really thriving in it I guess)
- Dylan16807 9y ago5 of those a week is only 30 minutes a weekday. What's the problem with that? Hidden hours in preparation and transportation? 30 minutes is not even a tenth of a school day.
- Spooky23 9y agoWhen they are 5, it's the lost time in transit and gaps of wasted time. When they get older there's a 4:1 prep:activity ratio. If your kid is going to play majors or minors in little league, you're doing multiple leagues, workshops and practicing. When he isn't doing that, you're dealing with little league politics. Multiple activities means you never eat dinner at home, may not see siblings for days as well. You also never see your spouse. If your 7 year old is at dance until 7, you're stopping at chipotle and not getting home until 8. Your spouse is tucking in the 5 year old, who needs to go to bed at 7:30 to wake up at 6 to get to before school care.
