D.（Lisa is only 1 so she gets a break here.） Anna's practicing football， volleyball， basketball and
softball. Nathan and Kristian do them all except volleyball. In the summer， add on tennis and swim

All of this means that dad， Darwin， a teacher， and mom， Joann， a nurse， spend a lot of time
making sure everyone gets where he needs to be. Family dimmers？ Forget about it. A busy family
timetable， says Barbara Carlson. A school teacher， has become the new thing that shows your status（地

busy we are. '"
In hope of getting their children into Harvard， many parents send their children to violin lessons at 3
and sign them up for tennis as soon as they're big enough to hold a bat. And that's just the warm-up. The
real serious task begins as soon as they start school. Mr. Moffat， father of a nine-year-old boy， said，
"It's important for children to learn honour and responsibility （责任），" he says. "It builds discipline （纪
律性） and character."
Maybe， but scientists say that too many outside activities destroy something children need even more
- time to connect with their family members. Professor William J. Doherty， a University of Minnesota
professor of family social science says that if parents and children don't make time for each other， there
will be problems. He says， "Parents are so eager to develop the children in every possible way that raising
children becomes like product development."
