An Article by Dr. David Elkind Tufts University http://www.hoover.org/publications/ednext/3385081.html

Personal Note:I highly recommend any of Dr. David Elkind's books on Education. The Hurried Child and Miseducation are two of my personal favorites. He has written new book, which I have not read yet, but intend to, The Power of Play, How Spontaneous, Imaginative Activities Lead to Happier, Healthier Children
