Several studies are expressing growing concern that after school programs to put pressure on children to do too much too soon. They note that when the afternoon of a child is filled with lessons, sports, excursions and other forms of organized activities, children are not really time to just children. They are very private family time estimates.
Without doubt, there are children who are overwhelmed by a schedule that places too much demand on their time. This leads to increased levels of stress on the child and family. As regular studies can not be ignored, children are almost always on track to do more. These children are really a burden too heavy for their frail little shoulders.
In an ideal world all children go home right after school to loving parents and care for children who are waiting to go home. But the social and economic realities show that many children must attend school after class, because there is nothing in the house. For these children, these classes are a godsend. Parents should be limited to read too much into these activities. After school programs are approving in nature. They give extra support. Therefore its importance should also be limited.
