Let kids play! I totally agree. I think parents involve their kids in too many things. Let them breathe!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215047487946192049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529969472454786525.post-83173985570469621702006-12-03T22:32:00.000-07:002006-12-03T22:32:00.000-07:00Oma,
I think you are right on with your post. Pa...Oma,<br /><br />I think you are right on with your post. Parents and schools nowadays mean well with their "sterilized" fun. But it may be stiffling creativity and problem solving abilities. We sometimes get chuckles out of older parents when we use the term "play date" in describing a scheduled interaction between children of similar age and temperment. What happened to kids just going outside and finding the neighborhood kids to do things with? For one neighborhoods are getting less safe. You have to worry about abusive parents and predators. Maybe they existed before, but we seem to hear about the worst-case-scenario stories on the news more often. In any case, kids need to be left alone to find their own talents instead of having busy schedules as early as preschool. They truly need to find the closest pollywog pond, to hunt deer, to get caught stealing and to throw tons of snowballs. It will help them in their adult life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529969472454786525.post-12629400041005205312006-11-30T07:53:00.000-07:002006-11-30T07:53:00.000-07:00mom, your late night ranting sessions are my very ...mom, your late night ranting sessions are my very favorite! i am with you, recess is an important part of life. thus, we should integrate it into our adult lives.. hey wanna do lunch?!!martahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15027406340527614561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2529969472454786525.post-72957398340394207432006-11-30T07:52:00.000-07:002006-11-30T07:52:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.martahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15027406340527614561noreply@blogger.com
