When we were young, there were so many games that we played. Games
that didn’t require batteries, or joy-sticks. Games played outdoors with stones,
sticks and chalk lines. Games with complicated rules that everyone understood.
Our kids, we claim, don’t play like we used to. We say all
they want is their TV and their play-stations. But is that really so? Has the
advent of electronics changed children, or is it parents who have changed?
“Mamma, can I play in the mud.”
“No, baby. It is full of germs. Why don’t you watch TV while
I fix you a snack?”

So true! I see so many kids who aren't encouraged to play outside. My own kids often had difficulty finding friends who would play outside rather than inside. Frustrating.
Ha!! I soooo have to agree with you!
I have heard that phrase so many times!
