As a kid of the late 80’s/early 90’s – we still had all the fun stuff! I think things really started to change in the 2000’s. <br /><br />I do like the mention of the terrorists – its true, they seem to be either glued to monkey bars or squirming under barbed wire in the middle of desert wasteland. <br /><br />I’m sure there will be some sort of reversal one of these days where parents actually let their kids learn from taking risks (and failing every so often). That would be better for everyone!Tassianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7086361246902345453.post-59579844394194867652012-04-14T09:53:56.814-04:002012-04-14T09:53:56.814-04:00What about the sandbox....Even big kids continued ...What about the sandbox....Even big kids continued to play there.
