Summary

How do we help our children benefit from the privilege of extracurricular activities? At what age should we enroll our kids in lessons and sports? Janet has a child-centered approach that not everyone will agree with, but she believes is "too good not to share." She discusses how parents can discern their child's readiness and describes the benefits and challenges of making readiness our priority. She shares how her approach keeps the big picture in mind while also saving time and money and alleviating many of the concerns and frustrations that parents have expressed to her over the years.

0:00.0	Hi, this is Janet Landsfrey. Welcome to Unruffold. Today I'm going to be talking about an approach
0:09.4	that I believe in to handling our children's extracurriculars as they grow. So, lessons,
0:17.6	sports, clubs, other activities. How can we help them navigate these and how can we navigate
0:25.2	them ourselves as parents with our own limited resources and time? How can we make the most of
0:32.6	these types of opportunities for our children? First, I want to share a quick message from our sponsor
0:39.0	Better Help. Between kids work and all the other responsibilities in our lives, taking care of
0:45.7	ourselves is often the last thing we think about, right? But there are times when ignoring our feelings
0:51.5	in powering through or just stuffing a personal issue doesn't make sense. It doesn't solve anything

1:37.8	in less than 48 hours. If your initial therapist doesn't feel like a good fit for any reason,
1:43.5	it happens. It's simple and free to switch to another. Please go to their website and check out
1:49.4	some of the reviews. There are thousands, all recent, with hundreds of new ones every week.
1:55.4	Right now Better Help has a special offer for my listeners and I really hope you'll take advantage.
2:00.8	Get 10% off your first month at BetterHelp.com slash respect. That's 10% off your first month of
2:09.5	online therapy at BetterHELP.com slash respect. Okay, so I think one of the reasons I've
2:21.9	hesitated to broach this topic. Well, I guess I have another podcast touched on it, but I haven't
2:28.8	really hit this topic head on because honestly, I feel like my approach is very unique in that
