Episode 3: The Art of Play
In this podcast we will be reminiscing about our childhood past and compare it to what we see with today's youth activities. In many ways it seems sad to not see kids playing outside, in the parks, riding bikes or other simple outdoor activities like we used to do. However, times have changed and our perception of a safe place to play and unsupervised play time has taken a downward turn.
Gone are the days when you could let your son or daughter run around with the neighborhood kids and not have to worry about what they were doing or where they were. There was always at least one or two of the neighborhood parents’ home after school, parents talked to each other in their own version of a neighborhood watch program, and kids would be allowed to play outside until it was time for dinner or time to settle down for the evening.
For the past three decades we have watched this free-spirited form of play diminish before our eyes. Today the concerns have switched from worrying about what time the kids will be home, to now having to worry about strangers abducting kids for trafficking rings or kids becoming addicted to their virtual reality world of on-line gaming.
What do you think will be the second and third order of effects that threaten both the physical and mental health of our youth? Do you think it's possible to bring back the days of old and allow our kids to live the experience of safe, active, and unsupervised play?
