Free Range Kids: Dairylea Simple Fun Report
A new report commissioned by cheese snack manufacturer, Dairylea, and compiled by childhood consultant, Tim Gill, has highlighted the need for kids to have simple pleasures and everyday freedom.
The Dairylea Simple Fun Report shows that many modern children are missing out on the imaginative and simple play time that we will all remember from our youth.
The lack of freedom, worry over safety, and increase in the use of technology and decline in the amount of playtime at school are all factors which have contributed to the shocking statistics that show children now spend far more time in front of a tv screen than they do playing outside.
Who remembers building dens in the woods? Rolling down steep hills? Playing simple playground games during break time? Or simply searching for conkers during a walk with the family? Of the children surveyed, most spent free time on their games consoles or online.
Not only does the report highlight the changing nature of childhoods over the last few generations but also uncovers the reasons, and comes up with some fun and enjoyable ways that you can change things for the better. And what's great is that you don't need to spend money to do it.
