[quote=Anonymous]I was outside all the time in the 70s- bikes, walking, hopscotch and tag, imaginary games with kids in the neighborhood, swings, grandparent's farm. Kids were "tougher" - I remember getting so thirsty, I thought I would collapse before going inside for a drink of water. My DS11 gets kind of whiny at the first sign of physical discomfort. I sound cranky, but it's because he grew up in the time when I had a constant sippy cup, or bag of cheerios, or I popped him in a stroller when he got tired of walking...on the other hand, kids are "smarter." Academically, he is light years ahead of where I was at his age and has a lot of stamina for schoolwork, solving harder problems, etc. [/quote]
