How Much Is Too Much

Should your child go to soccer practice 5 days a week? It's 3 days

 

enough? It is common for parents to be a little confused about this

 

deciding how much is too much concerning extracurricular activities.

studies), children simply fail these classes. But too much fun

 

it can also make the child sick. Here is a simple tutorial to help you out

settle down, and look for more challenging activities such as a music program.

 

Level 1:

 

One or two activities per week, play dates, and playground visits

 

recommended. The child is still too

 

young to fear winning and losing. After the pitfalls and

 

the whole day at school needs a healthy outlet for accumulated energy.

2nd degree:

 

Your child is old enough to have a say in what activities they do

 

he wants Sports, skating, swimming, or computers - direct him to things

 

he likes. Many children start learning a musical instrument around this

 

age. However, give your child some "alone time" to relax

 

and just do what he wants.

 

Class 3:

 

Socialization is starting to take center stage. Team sports are a good option.

 

Developing motor skills, painting, drawing, etc. is also better. Leave the child

 

explore areas of interest. But reserve enough time for family and

 

for fun activities.

engaged in activities that will increase his self-esteem. That will help too

build. But beware of the homework demon. Your child needs more time

 

his studies. Balancing his schoolwork with other activities is very difficult

about everything. But she or he can push studies comfortably

family time and other activities. Now is a great time to get your baby

 

interest in community service.

learning. Academic performance can be improved by encouraging your minor

 

join clubs such as the scouting program, language clubs, chess

 

clubs etc. As a general rule, there should be 16-20 hours of extra activity per week
