kids nowadays!
am babysitting my cousins- 6 and 9 year old girl and boy,
and i realised that all they did the whole morning was playing with their DS, gameboy, computer and watching tv.
aideeee.
they cant seem to entertain themselves in any OTHER way!
they turned down my offer to draw or read something educational...
so i set a compulsory half hour break from any electronic screen at hour intervals.
which got me thinking- when i was young we didnt have all this tech-y stuff at our disposal!
we had to entertain ourselves!
in my case, three cartoons a day would have earn you a scolding..
which was why i used to draw a lot.
and write stories.
and read tons of Enid Blyton.
and make a "home" out of the sofas, pillows and blankets.
and draw on my barbie dolls.
and line my toy cars into perfectly straight lines with "monitors" at both ends.
MUCH more holistic, if you ask me =)
i pity them..
