Last night at bedtime my 7yo son (2nd grade) said that he doesn't have enough time to play. Yesterday was a short day that he has once a week and he wished every day was a short day.
To be honest, it was really sad to hear him say that. He's a kid and doesn't understand the schedule being imposed upon him.
Without getting into a discussion about the right number of hours a 7yo should spend in class I wanted to ask another question.
What ideas have parents come up with to make it "feel" like there's more unstructured play time for kids during the school year?
