The author is trying to persuade readers to let children have more spare time to do some activities without previous organized. Family should even allow children to be bored I think it's kind of true that some of the parents make the children's schedule really full so that the children themselves don't have free time. However, I would rather being busy than doing something bored. In addition, i think children can still explore themselves or their interests while they are in different kine of camping or activities. Therefore, this essay doesn't work on me.
In the quote, the author was trying to show and persuade the reader that, this society has became so bad that whenever a child finally got spare time for themselves, the parents end up taking them away. Where as the author stated later in the passage, downtime is when we become ourselves, but in a society like this now, children can hardly "become themselves" as they are way over-scheduled.
