Do You Hyper-Parent Over-Scheduled Kids?

Christmas is coming faster than it seems like it should. It seems like it wasn't that long ago that we just did all the holiday gift giving, overeating, and hemorrhaging money!

I don't like to buy gifts for kids that they tire of quickly. I like to find gifts that I know they'll use their imaginations for. It is good for children to be creative and use their imaginations instead of having every hour of every day scheduled for them running here and there in my opinion (let's face it, it's not good for the parents either). Kids are so over-scheduled! I certainly don't want to hyper-parent 24/7 either.

I found these Playmobil Toys that I think give kids the opportunity to create their own little stories while playing, which is what we had to do as kids. Give the kids some free time to use their imaginations and let them just be kids. That's my opinion.
