Three Ways to Tell If Your Child Is
Overscheduled:
- Pre-school kids show it in physical ways: headaches,
stomachaches, etc.
- School-aged kids show it in the form of bad grades,
physical fights and problems with their friends
- Teens handle stress in the same way as adults -- by
acting out, using drugs and alcohol, etc.
Three Tips for Parents of Overscheduled
Children:
- For school-aged kids, limit activities to three per week
(one social activity like scouts, one sports activity, one
arts activity).
- Remember that it's okay for kids to be bored.
- There should be at least one time a week set aside for
family time: a meal, a trip, even watching TV or seeing a
movie together.
