    They shift coffee-houses and chocolate-houses from hour to hour, to get over the insupportable labour of doing nothing.
    Richard Steele (1672–1729)

    The shift from the perception of the child as innocent to the perception of the child as competent has greatly increased the demands on contemporary children for maturity, for participating in competitive sports, for early academic achievement, and for protecting themselves against adults who might do them harm. While children might be able to cope with any one of those demands taken singly, taken together they often exceed children’s adaptive capacity.
    David Elkind (20th century)
