After school activities and burnout
For millions of - parents around the world, the day does not end with the school bell. There are still pictures to be painted, songs to - be sung and games to be played. This all adds up to keeping children happy, safe and out of - trouble. But, parents have to steer away from - going overboard. 


  • After school is not baby-sitting
  • Research and choose
  • Free time
  • When to quit
After school is not baby-sitting: After school activities thrive only if - it is backed by sufficient parental involvement. What would a soccer match be without parents cheering their little heroes from - the sidelines?. 

Research and choose: Instead of - convenience being the decisive factor, find out things that will interest your child. Once you select a program, get the fine - print and find out what you have to contribute. 

Free time: Many children attend piano classes, followed by ballet and squeeze in some time for - play dates in between just before they rush home in time for bed. This rigor is too much for - a child. So, go slow. 

When to quit: Often, parents enroll their child in - an activity to discover that he may not be - the prodigy they thought he would be. This is the time to let go. Your child may not become the next wonder-kid. But, let him cultivate an interest that he enjoys. Remember, happiness and fulfillment are - all that matter.
