I can't imagine how different things would be if I wasn't raising my kids so close to nature and easy to get them out in it.

Everybody tells me it's ok. I don't buy it. They don't fight when they dig in some mud or just beat nettles with sticks. They just talk for hours about something extremely important.😁 In the apartment it feels like their energy is bouncing back off the walls and doesn't resonate well.

I think this is especially true of boys. They need wide open spaces as an outlet for their energy. Adults are low energy and can sit around in an apartment, but not young boys. They need to horse around

Yes. I never saw my boys calmly coloring for more than 30 minutes. They're fighting, battling, you can sense that inner pressure. It's like cubs learning to roar.

They need stimulation. It’s good they’re not glued to screens
