Answer:

He argues that they have too little CHILDHOOD time leading to increased stress

Step-by-step explanation:

Author David Elkind in his book titled The Hurried Child articulates how children are hurried out of their childhood time due to pressure from either the society or their parents. He argues that that children are overcommitted and are growing up too fast and too soon as they are burdened with high expectations to behave like adults. This expectations ( such as to succeed, and to win etc) place on them as much stress just like any adult and may cause adult-like psychological stress on the children too
