Kids Sports: How much is too much?
Posted on Sep 3rd 2008 9:22PM by Martha EdwardsFiled Under: Nutrition & Supplements
Just looking at the schedules of my cousin's kids exhausts me: Soccer two night a week, Karate two nights a week, swimming three times a week and SCUBA diving classes once a week. That's in addition to full-time school and part-time volunteering. Holy commitment.
And there's no doubt that commitment is what it takes to be outstanding -- these past Olympics have showed us that. But when it comes to kids sports, how much is too much? Bloggers over at the New York Times are asking the same thing. On one hand, fostering a lifelong relationship with exercise will benefit your child's body and mind for years to come. On the other, too much exercise can be dangerous and can have lasting effects.
