How much is too much organized activity for kids? Earlier this spring, Layton had three sports schedules that all overlapped; T-Ball, Ice Hockey, and Swim Lessons. He's 5. When I was five, I was debating which finger paint tasted the best and that was about it. I think there is a desire in me to make sure he gets the opportunity to try everything and then pick what he really likes. There are several things I wish I had done as a kid and I don't want him to be typing that line 30 years from now. BUT, I also don't want to burn him out. I have not forced any of these activities on him, he loves them all. It just seems that some days we get home and think, "Oh yeah, THAT'S what our house looks like." We enjoy all the activities, but we are trying harder to just have some chill time. How much is too much? Should there be a minimum? At what age do you encourage your child to become more focused on a favorite...
