The Dad Files
After School Edition

Hi, I’m Mats, a dad of two active kids. My afternoons are packed with after-school activities—from music classes to taekwondo, with plenty of "Dad, I’m hungry!" moments thrown in.

I grew up in the ’90s when life was simple—we played outside until the streetlights came on. Today’s world of constant screens, schedules, and over-parenting feels overwhelming to me.

This blog is all about finding balance through non-tech after-school activities for kids, sharing my experiences, and helping others navigate the chaos without relying on screens and technology.
