They work a 9-to-5 job (or some other shift); then they get home and have to take care of things there. For many working moms, this means taxiing their children to various after-school activities. If you feel as if you\u2019re always on the go, you may be ready to learn how to manage your kids\u2019 after-school activities better.<\/p>\n<p>Parents with only one child can usually handle their child\u2019s extracurricular activities. It\u2019s when you have two or more children that things can get a little dicey. <a href=\"https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/child-health-news\/teens-tend-overreact-criticism-moms-according-recent-brain-research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">You may find it difficult<\/a>\u00a0to keep up with everything your children do as well as get things done at home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Decide as a family what&#8217;s most important.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do you eat meals together every evening, or will your child\u2019s activities keep you from doing that? Will it put a strain on the family&#8217;s budget for your child to play a sport or take part in an after-school activity? These are some questions to consider as a family.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Limit your children to one after-school activity per season.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy for children to want to do everything. Help your kids to realize that some practices or activities may overlap and they may miss some. They&#8217;ll be less likely to have scheduling conflicts (and <a href=\"https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/parenting\/five-tips-ideas-strategies-reduce-mom-stress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">so will you<\/a>) if you limit the sports they can play and organizations they can join.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Think about the time required for each activity.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most sports will have practice at least two days a week and games will usually occur during the weekend. Non-sports activities such as Scouting or music lessons may also require weekend attendance. Because neither you nor your kids can be in two places at once, something may have to give.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get a calendar and combine\u00a0the schedules for each family member\u2019s activities. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Assign each person a color so you can see who has activities on any given day. If you have more than one child, expect that you will have conflicts from time to time. On those occasions, ask friends and family to help you by supporting one child while you\u2019re with the other.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t panic if your child can\u2019t make every practice or every game &#8212; this can happen to anybody.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pay attention to your child\u2019s grades<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If your child&#8217;s grades begin to drop, he or she may be putting more effort into his or her after-school activities. Stand firm in your policy that school work comes first, no matter what. Your child will naturally feel upset if you remove them from an activity they enjoy. At the same time, it&#8217;s more important that they\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/childdevelopmentinfo.com\/child-activities\/family-vacation-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">get a decent education<\/a> than play a sport or instrument well.<\/p>\n<p>Juggling a job, home life and your child\u2019s after-school activities can be stressful. It may help to know that most activities only last for eight to ten weeks. Although you\u2019ll be busy for several weeks, your child can benefit from being a part of something outside of school. Using some of the above ideas to help you manage your kids\u2019 after-school activities, you&#8217;ll enjoy cheering them on and watching them grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Working mothers often have a double duty.
