Beautiful essay, and something anyone in the world these days must work to remember. My kiddos are teens, and it’s interesting giving them space to experiment with the pace they want this summer. My oldest is running hard with competition and skill development. My middle is stage manager in a local production, which is big but only 5 hours per day. My youngest, sleep til noon and go to the pool. It’s a challenger as a parent to watch them explore what is right for them, not too much, not too little.
