Agree. Most of the responses seem to be from wired type A people. It's a thread in American so I expect it to be an American way of thinking. Not necessarily the right one. When we all claim to want to make our children global citizens and widen their horizons and broaden their perspectives then why do we enroll them in schools with a pressure cooker environment. While American children have started preschool at age 2 and learning the alphabet and reading at crazy young ages, Finnish children are 'illiterate' and having fun.

How can one aspect of parenting determine how good or bad parent you are? People who pass judgements to that effect are not thinking. So it's OK for me to allow my kids a lot of TV time and not allow them to miss a single day of school. But it's not OK to go to Inda or Africa or Disney and be strict about screen time. How do you all know how involved the parents are. I liked the several comments that said they wouldn't don't it but don't judge those who do.[/quote]
