My daughter came home yesterday and told me about a girl in her sports group. This girl goes to all the practices (morning and evening) and then goes somewhere else to hang out and party. But my daughter, on the other hand, gets so tired after her evening practices that she doesn't even have the energy to go for a walk. She does her homework and goes straight to bed. (She doesn't always make it to morning practices, she skips them now and then). How is that possible? Where does she get so much energy? On the other hand, this other girl hasn't been going to school in person for several years; she studies online, and they don't really do anything serious there. She has a ton of overdue assignments, meaning she's not really pushing herself. Meanwhile, we have 7 solid classes every day, physics, programming (specialized class). What do you think, could it be because she doesn't attend school in person? Or is it something else? Some people just have boundless energy, regardless of their circumstances.
There's this thing where if you need to register for a website at a specific time and there are tons…

School really takes a lot of energy. I'd even say it drains you.

My youngest is like a little Energizer bunny! She has 5 school lessons, then 2 hours of ice skating and 1 hour of off-ice training. She eats quickly and then runs out to play with her friends (they have a trampoline in the yard and jump endlessly) or ride bikes around the housing development – it's quite large. She has training 6 times a week (but I can only take her 4 times). She's bouncing around until 10 PM, and it's hard to get her to bed, but she crashes fast. She's up at 6:30 AM. The older ones can't be woken up, but by then, the youngest has already washed up, gotten dressed, brushed her teeth, and is riding the dog! Her only downtime is the car rides (since we live in the suburbs, that's 1.5 hours a day for school and the ice rink) and when she's eating. My older kids used to nap after school in first grade 😅, they definitely couldn't handle this schedule.

Everyone is different, with varying temperaments, levels of strength, energy, and health. My daughter, it seems, never gets tired... even with colossal loads. I've offered her to cut back on a few things multiple times, but she insists on continuing and assures me she's not tired at all. Honestly, I can see it myself, it just amazes me.

yankovskaya yuliya I'm comparing it to my older kids. For a child who just turned 7, it's pretty decent, considering the sports. I forgot about the choreography too, 4 hours once a week with lunch in the locker room. But yeah, she doesn't feel the strain. Although my middle child would lie down after 2 hours of training when she did it. Now she's doing guitar and a lot of studying; not everyone can handle professional sports.

yankovskaya yuliya From age 6, we had 3-4 hours daily, plus the "dry" stuff. It's different. At 7 years old, what's there? Axel, doubles, spins))

Yes, that's exactly the lack of school.

Well, primarily because of school, I guess.
But I have a friend. She's a chief accountant. She has 5 kids. She goes to training three times a week. To the pool during her lunch break. She preps meals for months in advance. She can travel to another city at the drop of a hat.
She's a legend in our company))

yankovskaya yuliya No, this is the first year of training. The second year is a bit more challenging; by the end of the year, they have to pass the standards for the 1st junior rank. They're working on routines and sequences, and also racing for speed. They spend 4 hours on the ice during training camps, and usually 2 hours a day, but they can go in the morning and evening.
What sport does your daughter do?

Churkina (Belous) Diana Oh, I also forgot to mention that they drive the girl, but mine gets there on her own, I just pick her up.

yankovskaya yuliya Awesome! Especially at that age when they can do everything themselves. I've been taking mine to the ice rink since she was 3. We paid for lessons until last year when she got on a budget spot. I'm just waiting for her to start lacing her skates herself, then maybe we can go for longer. It's fine for the kid, but I don't have the energy for more right now.

And then there are the adults… they manage to get work done, keep up at home, take care of the kids, and still have fun in the evening… I ask myself the same question, how????😁

My daughter was in a class and professionally trained in swimming. She had practice before school and after school. And after practice, she did her homework. And she studied very well. This year, she actually transferred to a school for the Olympic reserve. But I always wondered, where does she get so much energy?

My friend's son does orienteering (with her), then rock climbing and hiking, and also crafts. And he goes to music school too. And he's so energetic! Meanwhile, Slava does orienteering and drums after school and is just miserable. It really depends on the child!))
