It is amazing that what parents are doing for their kids, or, what they are having their kids do. They drive their kids from one event to the other, one activity to another, ballet, piano, tennis, soccer, football, chess, …

It is really not the most efficient way to educate kids. They should learn to pick one thing that they strive to become expert (be it piano or soccer), practice very hard and develop discipline. The rest should just be playing, parents should not allow kids to do many things. If we as parents let kids develop the habit of doing many things but not good at any, it is going to have a negative impact on kids’ character. Of course, it also wastes a lot of parents’ time.

At most, I think parents should pick one in sports and one in art/music as extracurricular activities for kids before highschool.
