Quote

I have met kindergartners who were kept overly safe as toddlers and ended up struggling in school because they did not have the small-muscle skills to hold a pencil properly, snap their pants after using the bathroom, or zip their own jacket. Their environments were kept so safe that they did not have opportunities to hone skills needed for school.
