Do you think parents over schedule their kids?

I’m a parent and have been know to take on too much, at one time. I try to be careful with my children; however, they both do have activities, but this year we paired back their schedules. My son only has a sport, my daughter has a few things – not all on the same day, though.

Compared to some parents, my kids look like slackers! What are the benefits and drawbacks of keeping your kids busy?
