Let’s Bring Back a Play-Based Childhood

Who remembers their play-based childhood?

Mine had lots of swimming, playing music, tree climbing.

Today, a phone-based childhood has taken over independent play.

That is why I love what letgrow(dot)org is doing,

“Let Grow is leading the movement for childhood independence. We believe today’s kids are smarter and stronger than our culture gives them credit for. We reject the idea that they are in constant physical, emotional or psychological danger from creeps, kidnapping, frustration, failure, baby snatchers, bad grades, disappointing playdates and/or the perils of a non-organic grape.”
