Dr.Alice Green
These activities are important for my children’s future. I really want them to be successful.
I don’t think that’s fair. Why don’t they just let their kids be kids People shouldn’t push their kids so hard.
All these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves, too. Although it’s normal to want successful children, it’s even more important to have happy children.
