Makes so much sense. Our kids' brains are being hard wired differently than ours, due to technology. As a kid, I didn't watch much tv, because little was available.

We played creative games indoors, and did lots of sports like bike riding and roller skating and ice skating. Softball in the street, stick ball in the street. Swimming. Played with Tweety, my parakeet.

I climbed trees and did art work. Learned ballet and tap dance and jazz dancing, and sang songs, and played the piano and wrote music. Ping pong.... Gosh, we were busy!

No play dates. We were free to roam on our own, from an early age.

I read books like crazy.

And no technology needed. No instant gratification. The process was important, not the result.

Sometimes, I wish I'd had the internet all my life. But now that I really think about it, I was lucky not to have it.
