No More Overscheduling Your Kids

Interviewer: When kids are over scheduled that means their parents are really over scheduled and joining us now is Eirene Heidelberger parent, coach and President and C.E.O., anything else of GIT MOM? Eirene: I think that’s enough.

Interviewer: What does GIT MOM stand for? Eirene: Get It Together Moms. Interviewer: Get It Together Moms. It’s a full-service coaching firm dedicated to helping parents, right? Eirene: Absolutely.

Interviewer: All right so let’s today focus on, in terms of getting things together, five ways to keep kids’ schedules from getting overloaded. Sounds like a pretty simple topic but you have various points you want to emphasize as to how to handle it, right? Eirene: Definitely, so my first point I say to moms is they have to be the ones who are in charge of the child’s schedule and not the child because if a child is allowed dictate his own day, well he is going to do everything he wants everything under the sun and that’s exactly when life gets totally out of control.

Interviewer: So, remember who is in charge. Eirene: Absolutely.

Mom and the parents are in charge. Interviewer: All right and you need to really check in and review the schedule thoroughly to see if your little boy or girl is really over scheduled. Eirene: Absolutely and I suggest to moms before the school season gets really rocking and rolling take a look at the schedule together. Mom and son and daughter they take a look to see if they’ve over committed. Because when a family over commits that’s when they started to rush and yell at each other and that’s when it gets crazy.

Interviewer: Tension mounts and then things explode at certain points.

Eirene: That’s right. Interviewer: All right, so you need to limit the activities, right? They might want to join every club and get involved in every sport but it’s just isn’t all doable, right? Eirene: Right, and that is when mom has to be the bad cop and she has to limit the number of activities that she lets her child participate in.

And I suggest no more than two core sports or activities and then you have to drop the rest because truly any more than that is too much time on a child as well as the whole family having to support what can be really lengthy time commitments. Interviewer: Okay and you suggest that at least one day a week the kid has nothing and just comes straight home from school. Eirene: Right, totally come home. In our family, I have three boys, I’ll pick them up right from school we’ll go for an early dinner at four o’clock then we get home, we have movie night or we get the basics out of the way like homework, snack and then we chill out and we let the children choose, it’s free time it’s their choice.

It’s really up to mom to protect this day and say “no” to future invitations because your child needs to just be home relaxing.

Interviewer: Well, I like that idea, I really do it’s probably harder to do than you think but that’s a great concept, and then finally you say you know these invites to the birthday parties? Eirene: Oh, my God it’s endless and now it’s starting, now we are back to the school we’re all in each other’s faces. Interviewer: You have one every week it seems like, right? Eirene: Or two or three on the weekends. I coach moms to say “no” and say “no” guilt free on their child’s behalf because they need to protect their best interests.

Your child doesn’t need to attend every play date, every birthday party because it’s too much on your child. Let them stay home and rejuvenate. Interviewer: Good ideas, I like, it this is Eirene Heidelberger of gitmom.com. Good to see you again.
