How couples navigate different childhood time experiences when raising their own children

My partner and I have completely different childhood memories of how time felt - mine full of boredom and endless summers, his structured and scheduled - and we can't agree on whether our 7-year-old should have more unstructured time or more activities. We're basically arguing about whose childhood was 'right' instead of seeing what our actual kid needs.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Parents are unconsciously re-litigating their own temporal childhoods rather than attending to their child's unique relationship with time.
