DISQUS

Vicki --

Great post! Last month I posted some comments about an article that ran in Time magazine about the plugged-in generation.

Here is one of the suggestions for parents that was listed in the article:

"4) Don’t be a screen-sucker. Monitor your own online behavior and television viewing. A major reason for the disappearance of the human moment in families is the parents’ — not just the kids’ — addiction to screens."

So true.

I agree with the playing outside, and go for the most unstructured activities possible. Had this little disagreement with my wife about that last summer and so we ended up with two play areas: a swing set, and a mud puddle. Guess which one won.
