I agree. Kids are way overbooked these days and it's absolutely NUTS the pressure put on them by the adults in their lives. Childhood is like frosting a cake or hitting send on an email....there are no "Do OVERS!" If you skrew up the cake, you throw it out and start over. If you hit send on an email and have regrets, oh well, it's out there. If we as parents get to the end of our kids childhood years and regret that we didn't laugh more, love more, play more, well, you just can't get the time back. Thanks for stirring up the conversation! Love ya! Tracy DeGraaf, mother of FIVE boys ages 19, 18, 13, 10 and 8 Hi Heather, Deb and Carolyn….Great show! I agree.
