Over Scheduling Kids - 1 minute read

Several studies are expressing a growing concern that after school


programs are pressurizing kids to do too much too soon. They point out


that when a child’s afternoon is filled with classes, trips, sports and


other forms of organized activities, kids do not really get the time to be


just kids. They are even being deprived of the cherished family time.


Undoubtedly, there are children who are being burdened with a schedule


that places too much demand on their time. This leads to increased levels


of stress on the child and the family. As regular studies cannot be


ignored, children are almost always on the run to achieve more. Such


children are really bearing a burden that is too heavy for their frail


little shoulders.


In an ideal world, all children would go home directly after school to


loving and caring parents who are waiting for the children to come home.


But the social and economic realities show that many children have to


attend after school courses because there is no one available at home. For


such children, these classes are a boon.


Parents should however restrain themselves from reading too much into


these activities. After school programs are complimentary in nature. They


give additional support. Therefore, their importance should also be


limited.
