Please don't misunderstand. There is a place for well-planned out activities and outings. But they should be the exception, not the rule. Children need opportunities to create, not just copy or recreate something. They need unstructured time to play and explore. When Mom fills up their day with pre-planned activities, classes and excursions, children develop expectations that that's what life is all about. They get bored easily. They think they have to be entertained constantly. Then, Mom gets exasperated and tells them to go out and play. Funny thing though...they don't know how to play. Sad.
