My father always thought that my brother and I were insane for staying inside when the sun was still out but such is the appeal of Nintendo. He insisted that we be outside. I'm glad he did. He also didn't care about us roaming far from home so long as we returned prior to sundown. We were encouraged to explore, my daughter will be too. I am sure that she will have more boundaries than I had, but they won't limit her ability to explore the outdoors. If we live close enough, she can walk to school... I may just have to volunteer as a crossing guard. What about you? What type of parents will you be? The decision for you is a bit different given that you live in a place with more crime.It also found evidence that hospital patients need fewer painkillers after surgery if they have views of nature from their bed.
-how telling.
