Do you feel like you are always running from ballet lessons, to violin lessons, to soccer practice, only to get home and have to feed your kids and get them to do their homework?
It can seem like a constant struggle, and you may find yourself asking questions like, "Are kids today doing too much?" Or, should they have some downtime... and even time to hang around and watch TV?"
So, who is at the root of this "over-scheduling" problem? Are you doing it for them or for YOU?
Special guest, Dr. David Hill, MD, joins Melanie Cole, MS, to discuss if today's children are doing too much and how you, as a parent, can wind down and give kids the downtime that they desperately need.
