Couldn't agree more. Stimulation is too easy to come by these days. My favourite memories are of running around the local farms, making swings, climbing fences and ultimately finding the best way to entertain myself. As I teacher I know which chidren in the class are over stimulated, they don't have as much self control the lack many traits such as resilience and perseverance.
Keep up your great work! thanks for the great post also!
That is a VERY valid point @riseandshine - I had not even thought of that... with my sons classmates in mind, as well as him on occasion too - this is something I am definitely going to pay closer attention too. I suppose as a teacher you have seen it all no doubt lol :)
