Solo ep - Are we doing to many extra-curricular activities?

About this episode

Leonie Akhidenor discusses the challenges of managing extra-curricular activities for children and how to ensure they remain enjoyable.

In today's solo episode I chat all about the extra curricular activity frenzy many of us can fall into. If you’re feeling like the juggle is real, unenjoyable and you’re struggling to keep up with the kid’s activities, here are some things to consider. Is my child still enjoying the activity? Does it light them up or drain them? Are we constantly rushing or do we feel reasonably calm? Is my kid getting enough sleep? Are we doing this for them or us? Tune in to find out more.
