Yes I found my preppie (we call them trannies lol) was exhausted. Mine did swimming after school, gymnastics on a Saturday morning and started guides half way through the year. She coped fine. She had done swimming and gymnastics right throughout preschool too so it wasn't a change really for her.
She found the baby sister she acquired at the start of the year more exhausting
However, DD1 was 5.5 when she started school. A couple of my GF with younger (in that year) kids did stop doing extra curricular stuff as they felt their kids weren't coping.
