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.

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