Often times, children today are referred to as "the hurried child". This is because the demands on

children are so great in our current society. Please complete a short "day in the life" journal entry

scenario of an individual in middle childhood. This should be set up like a journal/diary entry from

that child's perspective. Make sure that you include ways in which the idea of "the hurried child" is

evident.

Please note that although you're writing from a child's perspective, I still expect college-level

writing skills.
