Does this schedule sound too full for a 7 year old?

That would be too full on for me as a 30+ adult 😂 But I think it can also depend on how much energy or need for stimulation the child has, that varies hugely. Some kids could cope perfectly fine with this, others would be burnt out pretty fast.

I think 2 or 3 open days would be a better balance.

Clearly in the minority here but I think that’s a great schedule! It’s not like these activities are taking the whole day. If you’re not doing a structured activity with your kid then you’re what, taking them to the park every day instead? I think an hour or two structured activity most days is absolutely fine

Geez that's a lot of stuff. Not a lot of free time for friends etc

I found three activities was too much as daughter was doing swimming, gymnastics and brownies plus these were becoming later as she got older and interfering with dinner time and then working on top plus the financial plus there is stuff like birthday parties, play dates and family time.

I’m over stimulated reading it haha xx

I’d ask your kid and see how they feel about it. It’s really up to the individual

It really depends on the child. If the child loves them, I would keep it as is. Personally, I was very hyper as a kid. I did not like the structured lessons (piano, calligraphy, tutor, and art). I rather played with my friends after school and watch tv than sit in class all day. Even to this day! I rather binge tv or play video games than continuing an art project I started a year ago!

You know your kid! Just let your little guy know they’re allowed to quit an activity if it doesn’t bring them joy. But no, I definitely wouldn’t make them quit something they love doing in the interest of more free time.

I’ll also be in the minority here. I think it’s fine. It’s not like these activities are hours long every single day. My kids have activities multiple activities a week as well. I think it’s good for them. I’m assuming for Sunday she’s in the church choir? They’re not two separate things that day right?
