Extracurricular activities for kids: Why science says less is more

With summer holidays approaching, it’s natural to worry about our kids’ boredom. No one wants their kids spending the summer fighting over the iPad or in a state of complacency.

It doesn’t help that this time of year, Facebook newsfeeds are punctuated with articles about ‘The Summer Slide.’ They warned that some students experienced academic regression as a result of being away from school for so long.

Hi! I'm Alana. When I'm not nursing cold, stale coffee, I usually can be found with the baby on my hip, barefoot, and racing after my two older kids. Thanks to a degree in psychology and a free-range childhood backing onto an expansive evergreen forest, positive parenting and play-based learning are my passions. Read more here.

On my facebook page, this weekend, I posted an ima On my facebook page, this weekend, I posted an image of Kamala Harris with her quote, "While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last, because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities." The intent was to honour the first female to be the projected vice president in the United States.

It evoked a slew of opposing opinions, backlash and emotion. 

I received several comments that I should stick to parenting and not post political content on my page. So I wanted to make something clear. 

Parenting is political. 

Many of the articles on this page are based on how to raise children who embody the parents' values. Our values are reflected in policy and politics throughout all of our countries.

The majority of this page centres on are the rights of children to live in peaceful, respectful homes where discipline is to teach and not to hit or hurt them.

The content of this page also reflects equitable education and the developmentally appropriate treatment of children.

I believe in celebrating childhood. 

From time-to-time page also focuses on the wellbeing of marginalized groups because children deserve to see their race,  gender, and sexual orientation represented and protected in the world. Equally, each child should feel their parents have a respected place in society regardless of their skin colour, sexual orientation, country of origin, or marital status.

All of that said, this page welcomes competing ideas and differing belief systems. I am of the firm belief that liberal and conservative beliefs are important and deserve representation. 

If you aren't comfortable with this stance, you are welcome to unfollow. 

If you'd like to stay, thank you.
