I have spoken with many parents who have their kids running ragged 7 days a week doing after school stuff:
music lessons, sports, etc.
These parents have their reasons but most of them push their kids into these after school activities because they are padding their “resume” early so that they will be primed for college admittance.
Everytime I hear a parent lament about how busy they are because of their kids activities I always ask:
“Do they enjoy it?”.
It’s such a simple question and yet the answers I receive are so obtuse and complicated.
It is my hope that Mrs. speaker and I can lead by example so that the little speakers will be motivated to do things on their own.
