After an action-packed weekend, I have a very ratty child.
It is becoming clear I need to think about 'pacing' dd, and start being selective about what we say 'yes' to. It will inevitably mean missing out enjoyable/interesting opportunities and invitations. A tired child is no fun for anyone.
I think I am coming quite late to this realisation. Just because something 'fits' our schedule, doesn't mean we should do it.
Do you 'build' quiet time into your child's schedule? What is your balance between going out and staying in?
