Introduction: Why Are Parents Opposing Scheduling Exceedances? In a world where every minute of a child's day can be packed with soccer practice, violin lessons, coding boot camps, and more, a quiet revolution is happening: Slow parenting. Parents are increasingly asking, "Is busier really better?" The bad news is that it is not.

Research shows that slowing down can actually make children happier, more independent, and more resilient.
