Finding the Silver Lining in Activities

Youth activities can be all-consuming.  Whether it is a sport, academic, or other pursuits, their calendars fill up quickly.  This has the opportunity to value doing over being.  However, it does not have to be that way.  The time spent in these activities can build relationships with others and even provide valuable one on one time with a parent.

There are many reasons to see youth activities as positive.  On the other hand, there are nearly as many negative aspects.  That being said, the ability to create and build relationships does not have to suffer.  There is a cost of time for these activities, but when properly used, that time can be utilized for gain and not a loss.  Here are just a few suggestions for making the most out of your child's busy schedule.
