Are You Overcommitting Your Kids? Simplifying Extracurriculars for Sanity + Balance
from Making Everyday Magic: The Podcast · host Shanna
Ever feel like your family calendar is running you instead of the other way around? 🙋♀️ In this episode, I'm getting real about how easy it is to overcommit our kids — and ourselves — with endless activities, lessons, and events. We recently hit that wall of exhaustion and decided it was time to simplify. Let's talk about how to spot the signs of burnout, what happens when you say "yes" too often, and how scaling back can actually make room for more joy, connection, and peace in your home. If you've been feeling mentally tired from high-commitment (and high-cost) extras, this conversation is your gentle reminder: less really can be more. 💕 ✨ Topics covered: Avoiding burnout from too many activities Simplifying kids' extracurriculars Balancing family time and mental health Letting go of the "busy means better" mindset #SimplifyingKidsActivities #MakingEverydayMagic #HomeschoolExtras #HomeschoolMom #FamilyBalance #IntentionalParenting #HomeschoolEncouragement #SimpleHomeschool #MomLife #MentalHealthMatters #FamilyTime 💖 — Shanna Just a mama making magic!
