We were delighted to see a NYC pediatrician mention The Busy Life of Ernestine Buckmeister! 💜

"I see a lot of kids who could be Ernestine.... kids are over-scheduled..." www.businessinsider.com/pediatrician...

A timeless reminder: Let kids be kids!

I'm a pediatrician and mom of 2. If your child has an activity every night after school, they're overbooked.
Dyan Hes is a pediatrician and mom of two. She says that over-scheduling kids and lead to stress. She recommends kid have at least one free night.
