How refreshing! I am British, 45, year old mother of 3 grown girls, currently studying for my M.ED at Marymount in Virginia. The focus and emphasis on incorporating all things digital into every subject from reading to art to science seems a slippery path. I wonder what the physical and mental side -effects will be on my grand children and great grand children.

I thought you would LOVE this posting in The Onion. 
Let the children play - and let them play outside!!!

I can absolutely imagine this.  I have this very dream for my 2 girls under 3 years old.  There is wonder in them for everything they see at this stage of life.  I wish I could remember when I lost that, so that I could help them maintain it through life.

We can get there!

Thanks for this article Richard, it’s very nice to hear this kind of positive words nowadays, in a world of technology which is consuming our lives more and more.

If I will have my own kids soon, I will definitely expose them to the nature. I will let them explore how beautiful the world is. I’m gonna teach them how to care the nature which they can share it to their fellow children.
