Not-Back-To-School Quote of The Day


"...Being the smartest or most accomplished kid in class has never had any bearing on being the happiest. We are so caught up in trying to give our children 'advantages' that we’re giving them lives as multi-tasked and stressful as ours. One of the biggest advantages we can give our children is a simple, carefree childhood."

--Excerpt from the must-read post, "What Should A 4-Year-Old Know?" on the wonderful blog, A Magical Childhood.
