Ray unfornuately things are different because we have made them different.  We constantly try to keep up with the Jones' so much that we live beyond or means. 

We must be the best at everything, because if don't than people look upon us as failures.

Take our kids for instant at a very fragile age we have them in all kinds of activities and when they go to school they have more work, we are sending them into physical and emotional meltdown.  Than if they do not pay attention or move too much than it is a classification.

Let us go back to the day when kindergarten is to learn and nap and play not be regimet, we expect our preschoolers to read, write and have all sorts of things figured out before hand.

Please let us go back and take a deep breath and relax.
