With the onset of spring, it is time to send our kids outside more! Unlike the streets we grew up in, where kids poured outside everyday after school and only came in briefly to inhale supper, children stay indoors where they are safe and are at the convenience of their computers, televisions and video games. The benefits of playing outside, however, are immense and it is up to the adults to encourage kids to get out there to play! With that said, if there is nobody outside to play with, it isn't so much fun. There is a great article in
Calgary's Child Magazine about starting an outdoor playgroup for children which offers a solution to the problem of the vacant outdoors.
