We received a voice note from Kevin and this voice note triggered the parents of Joburg:  "Howsit Anele its Kevin. My daughter has a ballet concert coming up next month. So, we pay for ballet as an extra mural every month, fine. Now the ballet concert has an entry fee of R240, a costume hire fee of R240, a graduation pack for R120, and the cherry on top is that we also have to pay R150 PER PERSON to attend the concert. So, this concert is costing me almost a grand and her ONLY performance is a song that is 1 minute 10 seconds long. I don't feel we should pay to also watch the show, come on now."  So we asked the parents of Joburg What their Kid's Activities are Costing them..See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Play is the work of childhood.  Summary It seems like in today's world, parents are judged by how many activities their kids are in and how committed the whole family is to those activities.  We see this as leading to complete burnout for parents, but more importantly, it robs children of the joy of unsupervised, spontaneous time to just play.  We explain in this podcast what play is and why it is so important for children to engage in. The beautiful thing about play is that parents should NOT be involved!  It is one thing that we can do for our kids that requires less of us, not more.  Parents need to learn that kids must take risks, make choices, and be independent from adults.  And this means less supervision, not more.  Listen in to this conversation where we try to strike a balance between keeping kids busy in a healthy way and giving them space to be bored and make good choices.     Key Takeaways Play is essential for a child's development. It is “freely chosen and directed by the participants and undertaken for its own sake, not to achieve something” - Dr. Peter Gray You need to be intentional about choosing your child's activities based on their developmental needs.  Kids under 12 really don't need structured activities - only do them if they work for your lifestyle and are not a cause of stress in the family Don't allow external forces to impose false expectations on your involvement.   Encourage your child to persevere even if an activity is difficult or not what they expected, but have the common sense to know when enough is enough. Know the adults that are around your child recognizing that especially in the teen years these people can become mentors for them for good or for bad.    Couple Discussion Questions Share with your spouse your experience with structured activities (sports, theater, lessons, etc).  What would you like to repeat? What would you like to avoid? What activities are our children involved in?  Are they developmentally appropriate for them?  How can we encourage more play among our children?  Are there other families who would join us in this?    Resources: Play Deprivation Is A Major Cause of the Teen Mental Health Crisis By JON HAIDT AND PETER GRAY https://www.afterbabel.com?utm_source=navbar&utm_medium=web

Sometimes it can be hard to work around kids and their many activities. In this episode we talk about how much is too much, and how to work around the ever growing lives of our children. 

Looping back to jiu jitsu again (also a metaphor for other things. And a complete mirror for me) - I'm tempted to say, well, it's me who has decided that this is good for them. And clearly, it's just not their thing. Let's try another activity. Or no activities. And that's probably true on some level, I suppose. But I'm also feeling that they haven't actually experienced really doing jiu jitsu. Because they have been so caught up in “I don't like going with this particular kid. They always go too hard. Why don't I win medals? I'm too tired. That coach doesn't like me,” and on and on and on.  So it doesn't feel clean or right to say just quit at this point. But they seem to be moving further into the story with increasing struggle, and my suggestions or attempts to “explain what's really going on here” (shockingly) have not been helpful. Also, won't this cycle just repeat itself with the next activity they try? So I guess that's my question… Can I help a little kid come more into reality? And now after writing all of that, it's seeming like I should just keep using this as a mirror. 

This week's WISDOM episode is a personal story from a recent trip away. We had paid for our oldest who's 5yo to do a Pirate Crafts activity for an hour and he just wasn't feeling it. This can be very frustrating for parents, especially when we've paid for something and things just don't go to plan. How did it play out? How did we respond? Tune in to find out.
