My DD8 thrives on being busy - 3 or 4 after-school activities, her own projects, library, makers lab, runs her own website, space club, holiday activities like horse riding and art class, I can barely keep up - BUT maybe once every year or so she'll hit the wall and be exhausted and we can only tell when she starts getting grouchy and over-emotional (and it stupidly takes us a while to click) so we convince her to drop everything and spend a few days vegging at home and having early nights … just an idea
