Hi! Just curious about what you have established as the school/scheduled activities/unscheduled time balance for your preschooler.

My son (just turned 4) goes to school 5 days a week from 7:45 to 12:30. He has not been participating in any extra lessons, sports, etc. This semester I am signing him up for a sport 2x a week, one hour each, although due to waiting time and transportation this will lengthen his school day until 2:45.

Some people I know have their kids doing activities 4x a week and I thought about it, but then I got nervous that it was too much.

It's hard to know what is the best balance between unscheduled time and putting them in organized activities they really like! What do you think is a good balance?
