[quote=Anonymous]In addition to the mental health and social aspects, there are also many physically therapeutic elements of the childhood OP endorses—interacting with dirt and animals, being grounded and barefoot, playing in spaces other than playgrounds and having the sun on your face. These activities protect children’s gut health, regulate their circadian rhythm, improve dexterity and so much more. Is it hard to accomplish in my urban neighborhood? Yes. But it’s much more important to me than exposing my kids to every fun coding or martial arts class (which are indeed tempting!) I suggest all the cynical parents on this thread look into programs like The Elements DC. They help families accomplish this stuff even in the city[/quote]
