Several months back, I answered a question from a parent who was bemoaning that in her community, structured activities for preschoolers have become the standard by which a mom is measured - that is, the more activities a preschooler is enrolled in, the better - more caring, responsible, forward-looking and so on - the mom. My petitioner specifically mentioned Kindermusik and Gymboree, to which I responded that although none of the activities in question were harmful per se, the harm was in the fact that today's children are not obtaining the benefits of sufficient unstructured imaginative play.

• Imaginative Play Helps Preschoolers

Several months back, I answered a question from a mother who bemoaned that in her community, structured activities for preschoolers have become the standard by which a mother is measured - that is, the more activities a preschooler is enrolled in, the better (more caring, responsible and so on) the mom. She mentioned Kindermusik and Gymboree, to which I responded that the harm was that children, from earlier and earlier ages, are not obtaining the benefits of sufficient unstructured, imaginative play. The villains are well-intentioned adults who believe they must micromanage everything children do so the kids obtain full benefit.
