Their after school schedules were incredible. They went to different schools and got out at different times and went to different after school events. One day was incredible. I dropped them and their friends off at school in the morning. That afternoon I picked up my grandson and a friend after school and drove a few miles in traffic to drop them off at a Math Olympics meeting. Later my wife picked up our grand daughter and a friend and brought them home for snacks, study and getting them to a dance practice.

Crazy schedule, and know something? It doesn’t do the kids any good. Kids need to be socializing slowly with friends, not teammates, who often are not friends. Childhood is about development of the core, the self, the soul.
