I’m all for less TV, more time outside, and more time with a book if you’re inside.

I agree that all interests should be encouraged and supported. Finding a balance should help children with strength in physical and mental areas and have them become more well-rounded.bb587 wrote: ↑02 Jul 2018, 07:49 My niece likes playing with electronics, but she'll drop everything if there's a chance to play outside. Electronics are a part of their future. I think all interests should be encouraged and nurtured. If a child likes watching movies discuss the movies afterwards, act them out, or have them write/tell their own version.
Just as those who play music seem to be able to focus on studying better, those who spend time in sports and with electronics will understand winning and losing concepts.

I have seen kids sit in the same room and text each other instead of talking to each other. I hope that reading this book and some good examples set by parents will encourage children to play outdoors instead of in the house all day.

I believe allowing children a certain amount of time with them is pretty much crucial. Otherwise, as they age they are likely to be left behind, which no one wants for their child.
Do I recommend kids to have total control over their tech gear. Of course not. They need to go outside, climb trees, play tag and all that other good stuff.
But, there must be a healthy balance, and parents need to take time to recognize what is best for their specific child.

In general, many children are spending too much time indoors and on screens. It's good to see healthy outdoor activities illustrated in this story, imo.
