Oh I completely agree with everything you said. I just meant that there now has to be an activity called unstructured play. When I grew that was just a given. I did all the organized sports stuff but a majority of my childhood was making up games with my friends, playing pick up basketball, football, and hockey games, exploring the woods, and just goofing around. I think that is much healthier and better learning experience. I've seen what happens when every hour is scheduled for a kid - they don't always know what to do with themselves when they are out in the real world. Safety is important but there has to be a balance. I don't have kids but I have nephews and a niece so I can understand the fear. Helps to turn off the news sometimes. I also had a great dog as a protector!

Off my soapbox now;)

Oh, we can't have that.

Pick up games of football? What about pads? And hockey is right out. Those sticks are dangerous! And stay out of the woods! You'll get lyme disease!

I have four nephews and two nieces, but no children of my own. I don't know that I ever will have my own kids, but honestly the biggest appeal is being able to do things my way and see how it works out! *grin*
