What do your primary age kids do after school before dinner?

Watch TV, build Lego, read books, colouring, play board games, play with toys, play, bicker or argue with each other!

Mine generally read, do crafts, play with toys, play in the garden, help a bit with tea if it’s their night my to do that. They don’t have TV on week nights apart from Friday. (No judgment for anyone who does but my eldest was having issues with sleep, and we were advised to cut out screens, and it’s made a huge difference). It was a bit of a transition for them away from TV but it’s made our bed times calmer, and I love that they get some down time to play/craft/read. I think unstructured time is important, and it’s fine for them to be a bit bored sometimes, they generally find something to do!

My dcs are only little, 5 and 7. This means school tires them, esp as one of them is ND. I like them to decompress and relax when they get home from school tbh, in summer they will play in the garden for a bit.
I don't agree with homework at this age or too many extra curriculum activities. They do need some time to relax imo, and some time to themselves. My oldest loves to watch documentaries about space, and play with dc2 on the xbox for fun; it is so lovely watching them play together with toys, making up little games on and off the screen. They'll do their required homework, and we read before bed anyway as well, so by the time we factor that in dinner, reading, baths, bedtime chat etc, there isn't really that much time left. My oldest has an afterschool activity one night a week, but this was something he asked for. They go swimming too, but usually on weekends.
Definately a balance is needed, too many activities isn't a good thing imo.

Mine would watch a bit of TV, play with toys, do a bit of homework, play outside with friends.

They didn't do many after school activities but they always managed to keep themselves busy.

Much the same as I did as a child, except I used to read more.
