How much is too much? (school activities)

funky-footprints

like the othe replies, id let her give it all a try. id be realy proud of your daughter that she has so much enthusiasm. My 2 (Y3 &y1) are exactly the same, we have juggled and manged to squeeze everything in that they want to do and have managed thankfully to this year keep saturdays free. (no such luck on a sunday morning with rubby !!) but it means a lot of time in the car for me and thier baby sister, but so be it.

id rather a child wanting to participate in as much as possible than one who comes home every night, has no socialising skilsl and and sits and plays on thier 'ds' all night.

As long at they dont get tired and are getting thier reading or other school work done, with plenty of proper food, rest time and sleep, id have no concerns.

If she's chosen to do it all herself then let her, see how it goes.

There's a difference between kids wanting to do activties and parents pushing them to.

I was very similar at her age!

I had loads of interests, although not sporty ones until I got older, I was in choirs, orchestra, music club, reading club, chess club, craft club, etc, etc and stayed late at school for something every evening!

If she is happy and wants to do it, I say let her! If her school work starts to suffer, you can always reconsider.

Congrats on having such an enthusiastic daughter!

I think if your daughter is happy and not becoming tired then it all sounds great fun. I am sure she will let you know if she wants to stop some of them.

Her school sounds great...my DD school charges for absolutely everything even during school hours.

On another question, what would she be doing if she [EMAIL="WASN@T"]WASN'T[/EMAIL] taking part in these activities? Would she either be getting under your feet or be watching TV/playing computer ganes? Which would you rather. As others have set, I suggest letting her get on with it and possibly reviewing by half-term.
