[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think way worse than the "over scheduled kid" is the at-home helicopter parent that insists every second of the kids free time at home is doing something to get ahead. They don't let the kid just be and play in the backyard with friends. Instead, they are constantly pushing workbooks and practice for this and that and zero playdates because they want them doing something productive. Those are the truly screwed up parents and kids - (my kids are grown - and had something almost every day and thrived - but we also valued and allowed downtime at home. I knew a more than a few families like described , and it never turned out well )[/quote] I don’t know one person like this and I’m Asian American. Even my relatives in Asia who have to study after school in those cram academies still find time to hang out and they have lots of friends.[/quote]
