For a society that is so concerned about mental health ... I can't believe we don't prioritize just having kids do nothing-giving kids space to just do nothing, without being told what to do, without being in school, without learning something, without being in an activity, without having a coach, without rushing around. I mean, adults don't even like the level of busy we are, adults can't even handle it, but we think kids can.
I want my kids to have hours in the day where they can do whatever they want: to be creative, to come up with things. We have been hardwired as parents to think we constantly need to be entertaining or doing an activity with our kid. All of us need to have space to breathe, especially little kids. ... So we're so concerned about mental health but we're stressing the kids out!
