? 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.”
It is crazy to compare the kids with other children.
Parents should let their kids be kids and shouldn't push their kids so hard.
④ Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a child's development. Dr. Alice Green says 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.”
It’s more important to have happy children than successful children.

Discuss the questions with your partner.
1. What do you think of after-school activities?
2. What should you do to relax?
What do you think of after-school activities?
In my opinion, if the kids really like the activity such as basketball, they can go to these classes. They may have some fun and learn some skills. But I don’t agree that some parents push the kids to take these activities.
2. What should you do to relax?
There are a lot of ways to relax. I’d like to read some books or eat some delicious food to relax. But my best friend would like to sleep a lot or play computer games.
