Linda? What does she say?
Dr. Green agrees with Linda. She says, “Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves, too. Although it’s normal to want successful children, it’s even more important to have happy children.”
What do you think of after-school activities?
In my opinion, if the kid really like the activity such as basketball, he can go to these classes. They may have some fun as well some skills. I don’t agree that some parents push the kids to take these activities.

you are a student, having higher scores,
doing homework on time, getting more
prizes.... When you become the best by
studying hard, you will feel satisfied and
