I think we all need these reminders to appreciate what we have and set our priorities straight. We need to realize that kids are kids and not little adults. I think we all agree that today's life style expect a lot from a child. We ask them to keep a very tight schedule and be sharp and active at all the time. This is so unfair.
Lets take a moment and look back at our childhood.
Remember those free summer days. All those time you had to spend in the Kocheh with friends. Of course not. Yes there were some wasted time but lets be honest and accept that there were a lot of gains too. Kids now a days have to jump from one class to another and in between they have to do their homework and other stuff we have scheduled for them.
