On
My Yahoo! page, I chose a number of comics and topics to appear on the front page. This morning, I found an interesting article about whether parents are
scheduling too much for their children.
I have had some discussions with parents who have older children (than us) and have found that sports, in particular, take a lot more time than they did when I was a kid. Part of the problem is that when people live in the suburbs, they have to drive everywhere, and thus have to drive their kids to all games and practices, and while having your entire family their for every practice is a good thing on one hand, being forced to be there every day takes its toll on the family.
I hadn't considered the level of detail that the article talks about. I have heard of routines on this level for autistic kids or adults with Alzheimer's, but not for "normal" kids.
