My kids have very few extracurricular activities primarily because I'm lazy and I don't want to be driving them to a million different places when they get out of school, but really I also think we need to lighten up on our kids. They are in school for 6-7 hours every day and then they get off, and I have friends who take their kids to 2 or 3 different activities a day, they get home at dinner time and then there's homework and the kids don't have a second to breathe. My kids, one day a week, each of them has an activity and sometimes I have to slip the others to that activity and they just have to find ways to entertain themselves, but they have a chunk of time at the end of the day to play outside, ride their bike, see neighborhood friends, and I think that's important. I think there are a lot of people who really over-program their kids, and I think just letting them be kids for a little is really important.
