How Much is Too Much? Getting Children Involved, but Not Too Involved
Abstract:
In the pediatric office, the summer months are filled with well-child visits and sports physicals. It is during these visits that it is important to evaluate our patients as a whole, remembering to discuss both physical and emotional concerns. It is also important to discuss the upcoming school year so concerns by both parents and children can be addressed. Extracurricular activities play a vital role in developing social skills, building a sense of community, and allowing children to discover life-long activities they truly enjoy. However, it is important to remind parents that as a family they must find a balance between a busy extracurricular activity schedule and time for rest, relaxation, and family.
