[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has honestly never come up for me.  I have four kids, live in a suburban area with a lot of trees, go hiking and camping, etc.  My kids will sword fight with sticks or get one to use as a walking stick.  They roast marshmallows with them.  They might throw one over a bridge to watch it float away.

I’ve never really seen them running around with sticks or just throwing them randomly at the park or in the yard.  I can’t really picture what’s going on here.

They use one as a walking stick like your kids do but then get distracted by something on the other side of the playground. This, of course, means they must sprint at full speed to whatever it is, with whatever is in their hand at the time.

OP--I'm with you on this. I allow walking and playing with sticks, but no running or climbing with sticks. If I had less clumsy kids, maybe I would feel differently, but it also feels so unnecessary. No one needs splinters in the eye, and the kids can find more sticks when they're done running. [/quote]
