[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s sad we can’t just let kids be kids and enjoy themselves in the summer without making them feel like they need to earn money or gain job experience.[/quote] I hate the concept of "we can't just let kids be kids and enjoy themselves" as if kids don't enjoy camps, jobs, learning, etc. My kids LOVE earning money, learning a new language/culture, and would be bored if they got told to just hang out all summer, but they can't work, can't do a language program, can't teach themselves coding, etc. Shouldn't letting kids be kids mean letting them explore their interests and indulge in them, whatEVER they may be?[/quote] It's true though. Not that kids can't enjoy those things, but they're almost expected now a days. Nothing wrong with some of that, but kids are way overscheduled amd need free, unstructured time to be kids. Not all kids enjoy being so busy.[/quote]
