Re: phones/text. These methods are simply an additional meduim to bring us closer to our children, and don't replace traditional communication. A text shares the excitement of the moment (i.e. I made the team) and is enough to hold me over until we're together. It is our responsibility to teach our children suitable phone etiquette; if used properly, it will simply bring the active family closer together.

I believe that keeping your children in sports and extra activities keeps them busy, healthy, and helps them excel in all areas of life. My daughter danced, cheered played in the band and graduated in the top of her senior class. She has maintained her grades throughout college, worked and taught dance. I live in the country and drove my daughter to her activities and stayed with her. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

I believe that more than 2 activities are too much as well. You need time to sit as a family and spend quality time together.I think that children need to find one to two activities they want to succeed in.

More than 2 activities is to much. Especially, if you live in the country and the way gas prices are it becomes to expensive to drive back and forth. Not to mention the most important thing is the students students. The sport or activity becomes more important than their studies and their future.

    I agree with Angela, it is a different world, but I hardly think that it warrants panic. The police were correct when they said to reinforce rules with your children. I frequently talk to my son and daughter... Read more »
