Extracurriculars and the Hurried Child
Captions available
The idea
Extracurricular activities are voluntary and adult-supervised, and are linked to better mental health, achievement, self-esteem and social skills and fewer risky behaviours.
In practice
In twenty twenty, forty-four percent of US boys and thirty-five percent of girls on a sports team.
Where people slip
David Elkind's idea of the hurried child raised concern about overscheduling; poverty and rural residence reduce participation.
