I got flack from people when my two were younger for "over scheduling them."

The truth is, I couldn't handle them. I had to have them in multiple activities ongoing, or the inactivity would leave them restless, hyper and stressed out. Now it's a little easier because they can manage their own energy a bit better and they can self direct. When they were younger though... none of the other toddler moms understood and I was "critiqued" often.
