There is an epidemic going on in the schools. It is too much stress due to the increase of homework. Kids are pulled in many different directions with school,sports and other extra-school activities. Also, more students are spending too much time on Facebook and not gong outside just to play ball. Gone are those days when kids walked to the local playground and played some baseball. Now, it is video games and Facebook that they are focusing on.
Parents need to help their children put some balance in their lives by limiting all of the activities and not taking all AP classes which will increase the stress. Too much emphasis is placed on the outcome and not what the process is doing to the student. Teach balance and have children take some time each day, just to relax and meditate or go outside and play some ball.
