Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves.
Dr. Alice Green
Although it’s normal to want successful children, it’s even more important to have happy children.
Don’t compare your kids with
others every day.
For parents︰无论成绩好坏，请想想：每个孩子都是种子，只不过每个人的花期不同。有的花，一开始就灿烂绽放；有的花，需要漫长的等待。不要看着别人怒放了，自己的那颗还没有动静就着急，相信是花都有自己的花期，细心地呵护自己的花慢慢的看着长大，陪着他沐浴阳光风雨，这何尝不是一种幸福。相信孩子，静等花开。也许你的种子永远不会开花，因为他是一棵参天大树。

The Taylors are a typical American family.
Life for Cathy Taylor’s three children is very busy.”
On most days after school,” Cathy says,
“I take one of my two boys to basketball practice
and my daughter to football training.
Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons.
Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities,
but I believe these activities are important for
my children’s future. I really want them to be successful. ” However, the tired children don’t get home until after 7:00 p.m.
They have a quick dinner, and then it’s time for homework.
it is time for sth. =it is time to do sth.
Linda Miller, a mother of three, knows all about such stress. “In some families, competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older,” she says. “Mothers send their small kids to all kinds of classes. And they are always comparing them with other children. It’s crazy. 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.”

What do you think of after-school activities
In my opinion, if the kid really like the activity such as basketball, he can go to these classes. They may have some fun as well some skills. I don’t agree that some parents push the kids to take these activities.
Discuss the questions with your partner.
