Read the passage from “The Downside of No Downtime for Kids.”
Is a summer packed with science and sports camps, reading assignments and math practice the only responsible choice?
Have you failed if your fifth grader isn’t learning to code or build tools with 3D printers?
Should you be pushing your child out the door, directing them to find the nearest park on their own?
The answer to all of those questions is probably no, says Alvin Rosenfeld, author of The Over-Scheduled Child and perhaps the most quoted man in articles warning of the possible consequences of accounting for too many minutes of your child’s day.
(These consequences, by the way, can include depression, anxiety and a lack of creativity and problem-solving skills.)
