Get out and play with your children. Show them the things you loved as a kid, and quickly the PS, Wii, XBOX, and all the other garbage gets put to the side. We all complain our kids sit in the house too much and do nothing but play on the little electric boxes. But how many times recently have you taken your child out with a $4 Wiffle ball and bat and played with them? Get up, get out. It is summer. No one is going to steal your child, no one is going to break anything but maybe an arm or leg... and that was a summer right of passage for the boys I grew up with. We need to "remascualte" this country, or we are doomed to be a lazy bunch of no body's who become China's third world country.
I agree. Playing with your kids or just letting them play and get dirty doesn't happen as often as it should. Busy parents have to carve out the time and just peel off their work clothes throw on some gym shoes and head out. Dinner and schedules can wait. The world will not end if they get to bed a little later....
ReplyDeleteWell put. As busy as my schedule is I try to cut at least an hour a day for my boys. They love it and appreciate it, and it can even be done while cooking dinner. Some mean games of 1 on 1 have happened here during that exact time...lol
