Give Them More Downtime

“So many families I work with have their children so overscheduled and there is no downtime,” says Howe. “They wonder why their children struggle, and it’s because they are exhausted and overloaded in every way.” So take some time to look at your kid’s calendar and see what activities are necessary — and which ones aren’t. And remember, it’s okay for your kids to have quiet time to themselves that doesn’t involve any kind of structure.
