Several studies have expressed a growing concern that after school programs are pressurizing kids to do too much too soon. They point out that when the afternoon of a child is filled with lessons, excursions, sports and other forms of organized activities, kids do not really have the time to just children. They are even deprived of the cherished family time.
Undoubtedly there are children who are burdened with a schedule that places too much demand on their time. This leads to higher levels of stress on the child and the family. As regular studies can not be ignored, children almost always on the run for more reach. These children are really a burden too heavy for their weak little shoulders.
In an ideal world all children would go home straight after school to loving and caring parents waiting for children to come home. But the social and economic realities show that many children attend after school courses because there is no one available at home. For these children, these classes are a blessing.
Parents should however bring under control themselves from reading too much into these activities. After school programs are gracious in nature. They give extra support.
