Structured activities,,,AARRGGHH..
I see so few kids today playing spontaneous pick up games...Soccer, football, basketball, etc are seemingly all in structured leagues....There is a field in our neighborhood that would be perfect for football, soccer, or baseball,,,But the kids are never there playing...
Growing up in Lewiston in the '60s was just fine...We played games ALL the time and our parents did not worry about us...
I think we learned to take responsibility for our actions rather than to blame others for a bad outcome such as a broken window....
