Welcome to the awesome marriage podcast. I'm your co-host, Christina Dodson. This is an Ask

Dr. Kim segment where people submit their questions for Dr. Kim Kim, and he answers them.

Thanks for listening. Today on Ask Dr. Kim, we're going to be talking about a question that probably

lots of families are thinking when they have, especially when they have a bunch of kids,

they're thinking, how should we as a family choose what activities to be involved in and whatnot, too?

I feel like so many families struggle with this. This is a question we've been asked several times.

Just, you know, what should we choose to be involved in? What should we say no to, too? It can be really hard to say no to things. So, great question. Dr. Graham, how do we choose? Now, I agree. It is a great question. And I think

in our culture today, it's something that every family has to do with, whether you've got one child

or six or whatever you have. And it just, I guess it just gets more of a problem the more kids you have because the time constraint. So how do you choose? I mean, I think like kind of what we

used to do with our kids, our kids were little. And Grant was a real athlete. So he wanted to play

every sport as it came around. And so he'd have sports that overlapped. And we kind of did that

for a season where soccer would overlap baseball and things like basketball and stuff like that.

And we finally decided after that, especially about the next year,

it was when Julie started doing some things too.

And so that we kept me running around doing everything with Grant.

And then, okay, Julie, you're going to have to go watch him play.

And that's it.

You know, so we limited him to one sport at a time.

And that worked out really well.

And I think it helped him too.

And it made him make a couple of choices at times.

And he kind of ended up deciding as he kind of grew up, which one he was better at and which one he wanted to really focus on.
