This is more of a general question.
I think dd is stressed from the number of hours in the gym. Her hours increased significantly this summer and everything was fine when there was no school. The hours are the same during the school year, but now that school has started, I think it might be too much for her. She seems to do fine at school and at gym, and she loves gym, but she melts down frequently at home for no reason, and she's usually fairly good natured.
Weekdays are all a rush all the time for her - rush to school, rush to gym, rush home from gym. Honestly, it stresses me out sometimes.
They are easing into homework and it has been relatively minimal so far, so I am wondering whether things get a lot worse when the homework increases, although my ds never seemed to spend much time on homework when he was her age, but I'm not sure if it will be the same for her. Our plan was for her to do homework in the car, but honestly, she eats in the car too - a snack on the way to gym and dinner on the way home. She can't even relax in the car.
Is the only solution to cut back gym hours? Or do the kids sometimes adjust to the go-go-go-rush-rush-rush of it all?
