How much is too much?

Several studies show growing concern that after school programs are pressuring kids to do too much too soon.

Here is a simple guide that will help you decide how much is too much for your child.

Kindergarten:

One or two classes per week are enough at the beginning.

Grade 1:

Avoid competitive sports activities. The child is still too young to have to worry about winning and losing.

Grade 2:
Your child is old enough to voice opinions on what activities he or she wants. Sports, skating, swimming or computers – steer them towards things they like.

Grade 3:
Team sports are a good choice. Developing motor skills, painting, drawing, etc

Grade 4:

At this age, the child will tell you what they like. Get them involved in activities that will boost confidence. This will also help them manage stress.

Grade 5:

Now is a great time to get your child interested in community service.

Middle school:

As a thumb rule, 16-20 hours a week of extra activity should be more than enough.

Check out my video about Gift Giving to Teenagers. This is great advice for any occasion.
