What has changed is that we now book our kids’ schedules such that there is hardly any free time for them to goof around and be imaginative, to be left to their own devices. With after school programs taking care of the kids until we get out of work, then homework, dinner and a bath, plus 20 minutes of reading and in bed by 8:30, they have no free time for play during the week. And on the weekend, between soccer, other sports and activities and running errands, time flies. Is this right?
