“When do I have time to just be a kid?”

Avery has what feels like the right amount of homework for a kid her age: Each night, she reads about 20 minutes and solves a few problems in a weekly worksheet due back on Friday. And yet she’s not always so enthusiastic about it. When I recently reminded her about that night’s work, she huffed, “So much homework! When do I have time to just be a kid?!”

(I couldn’t help but smile at that one.)
