All Work and No Play: Why Your Kids Are More Anxious, Depressed


The article "All Work and No Play" is basically about how times have change and how kids aren't the same.So really it explains how over the years play time for children has change a lot when it shouldn't have. They think that every kid should have good childhood memories.

Play time now and days have changed big time. Its states in the article " What are your memories of playing as a child? Some of us will remember hide and seek, house, tag, and red rover red rover."This is they point here they saying kids don't know how to play and have fun anymore. The games our parents and their parents played growing up just isn't the same.

I think that as a kid we should have a good time and keep all the old school games alive. I would want my children to grow up saying "mommy I had the best childhood ever, I wish I could do I all over again." I don't want them saying I hated my childhood everybody was boring, there was no type of games to play growing up our generation grew up way too fast.

Like now and days our generation is growing up too fast honestly, When I'm home with my younger cousins, nieces and nephews I encourage them to play and have fun, don't sit around trying to be grown. I show them the games of "Duck Duck Goose, Hide And Seek, House, Hand Games, and Etc." I want them to experience what I experience growing up. I had an amazing time.

This article helped me look at things differently because now I refuse to let them sit and waste their childhood. Our generation really has a toll on kids that going to be the next generation. Its actually encourage me to encourage the youth to enjoy thy childhood. Its takes a toll on them because it will be a lot of drama if nobody knows how to do positive things.

If you have a good childhood wold you want the same for the next generation?, Would you do whatever to show the youth there is still fun somewhere?, do you want your kids to always tell stories from their childhood wishing they could relive it?

  1. This post has some interesting opinions at the end, but the summary doesn't really get at the main points within the article. You need to demonstrate that you've read and thought about the whole article, not just the opening lines. 70
