True. That said, the first 18 years of life don’t need to be overscheduled. My kids weren’t overscheduled and have done well. D has a good job and she works hard, but she has plenty of leisure time and isn’t a slave to her job. She does have friends who were very overscheduled in high school and they seem burned out now…or they were overscheduled and they are just go go go all the time, in both their work and social life…
