We watched a little clip call “Overdose” in class. It was about a family who put their child in a lot of extracurricular activities and wanted the best for their child, but the child was exhausted and did not look like he enjoyed anything he was doing. I think many families in our society are like this today. Parents want the best for their child and want them to experience everything they can, but if the child does not enjoy the activities it is not worth the time and money. I think it is great if kids are able to experience all the activities that are out there, but then the child should decide what they like to do and the parents should support that decision. When the child in young they should be able to experience several activities so they can decide what they like or do not like, but once the child is older they should go in less activities, as they start to figure out what they really enjoy.
