My son plays competitive hockey and soccer. My daughter also plays hockey and soccer and they both do swimming lessons. My husband plays hockey. When we get a chance, we like to ski. We are busy! But, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. My kids love it. It is a great way to build community. We meet all sorts of different people, go to exciting places, and the kids learn the value of hard work and contributing to a team.
So, when I was recently contacted by CTV because they are recruiting for a few
families for an upcoming documentary on busy families, “over”
scheduling, and the logistics of this lifestyle I thought some of you might be interested. We can all relate
to the benefits and challenges of a busy family! If you are interested, please see the
information below from CTV.
Are you a parent dealing with a daunting schedule this fall? Are
you spending more time than ever frantically shuttling the kids from
hockey practice to music lessons to endless community events and
competitions? If so, we’d love to hear from you.
We’re looking for a handful of high-octane families that are
dealing with the pressures of a busy family schedule to take part in a
new CTV documentary about the changing nature of childhood.
There is little time for free play for many kids these days. Today, their lives are busier and more structured than ever.
This will be the first documentary film to put a face on this
important, emerging issue in Canada, and around the world. If you’d
like to know more and perhaps get involved, please email Scott Harper
with a short description of your family and your story at scott@sundaynight.ca
um. me!! me!
What does it say about the situation that I’m too busy to contemplate being able to take part in this documentary? 😉
