The art of play is being lost
Re: The day the kids lost their freedom (Column, NewsLeader, June 29)
Great sentiments. Thanks for the kick the can memory.
I agree that our kids need more unstructured time, not more structured time. The art of play is being lost.
Three or four hours of building a fort, or playing American ping pong and kick-the-can in the gloamin’—they’re my best memories too.
