\u00a0\"Untitled <\/picture><\/div>\n
\u00a0School-age children are faced with many choices for extracurricular activities, and finding the right balance between school and after-school activities can be a challenge. Scouts, music programs, academic clubs, sports, and 4H are just\u00a0a few options that can be beneficial or detrimental depending on the number of hours taken away from family and homework time<\/a>.<\/div>\n
\n

The pressure to be overly involved is due to many factors:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Parental Push
\n<\/strong>Some parents live vicariously through their children. Step back and take a look at what the motivation is for having your child participate in an activity. Ask yourself questions like ‘Is my child skilled or do they show an interest in this activity? Does this program supplement and aid in the academic progress of my child or take away from it?’<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Peer Pressure
\n<\/strong>Many kids follow their friends into activities that aren\u2019t always a good fit. Make sure their choice is based on their desire and aptitude, not their anxiety over not doing what their friends are doing. It\u2019s okay to participate in extracurricular activities with your friends, but the goal is for your child to be successful and grow through the experience.\"It's <\/picture><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0College Requirements
\n<\/strong>The pressure to get into a good college begins early in high school.\u00a0 Being admitted is not only based on grades – extracurricular involvement and volunteering are also factors.\u00a0 This can weigh heavily on students and create anxiety and stress<\/a> if teachers and parents don’t help them find a balance .<\/p>\n

Sit down and openly discuss the options and help point your child in a direction that will help them find a healthy balance <\/a>with school, homework, after-school programs, and rest. Fatigue, frustration, and declining grades are good indicators that changes need to be made.\u00a0 The goal of every parent should be to support and encourage their child toward becoming a happy and well-balanced adult.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
