How much time should kids practice their activities outside of structured practice times? I know there can be a billion ways to answer this, due to all the life variables and desired outcomes, but give it a shot and explain your reasoning.
Depends on their desire and age. We supply the ball::: they do what they want, when they want (within reason, right!?). My kids play without us prompting or sometimes even knowing. My daughter would play pepper/volleyball every day. My son shoots hoops every day in the summer. We only join the when they ask. Short answer: we take our guide from them. 🤷🏻♀️
Do you ever feel like you need to hire someone to keep your family organized? One kid has practice here, the other practice there, oh yeah I have a work meeting tonight! How do you do it? What strategies does your family use?
