Stressed Out Kids
Baseball practice, piano practice, dance class, after school activities, homework, family night, church activities! Are our kids doing too much? It’s an epidemic that is 
sweeping through our homes. It’s about giving our kids what we never had growing up, but too much can be a bad thing.
When we too many extracurricular activities to our plates we miss out on some very valuable family moments. Not only that but stress is becoming more of an issue with kids.
If you want your child to participate in other activities, try limiting the number of extracurricular activities they are involved in. Let your child take the time to see which activities he really likes and stick with those. And please, don’t try to make the decisions for them just because it is something you did or always wanted to do.
In the home make your evenings quiets ones so that everyone can calm down for a stressful day of work and a hard day of schooling. Some evenings you can have special family activities that you have been chosen by the entire family. You can search online for different activities; or you can purchase book like Dr. Mommy’s Activities for Less so that you have a reference right in your home.
Every parent wants the best for their child, but realizing now that giving them everything may not be best will help your child do better in school and have a stress free childhood. Giving them limitations will help them learn self-control and they will be more balanced as adults. In our fast paced society, it’s a good idea to teach your child about what is most important – family and learning.
