Let kids be kids linky 5/11/13
Welcome to let kids be kids linky.
This is a linky all about letting kids be kids. It’s about getting back to basics and having great childhood fun. We live in such a fast paced modern world with loads of technology and stresses round every corner, we need to remember to just ‘play’ and have fun, it’s healthy for us all (yes, that includes you parents!).
I originally set this linky up on my other website, but recently decided it needed an identity of its own, hence, this site has been born and my mission to raise awareness of letting kids be kids has started. Please join me in spreading the word for children to step away from the computers and screens for a time and go out, run around, use their imaginations and just have general basic FUN!
This week I have started thinking about how I can take this site forward. I would love to add a post about how working parents manage fun with their children, in order to inspire other working parents. But, as I am a stay at home mum, this is a bit difficult for me to do. If any of you would like to write a guest post on the subject of how you manage time with your children and get your children out playing, please do get in touch via my contact form, I would love to hear from you.
Thank you to everyone who linked up last week, as always, there were some great posts. I particularly liked some great whole family puddle splashing via Redhead babbled, some fun at Bertie and boos adventure island via Mummytries and how about encouraging children into reading with a festival of children’s literature via More than a momma.
There’s not may rules, just link up your posts, old or new, about genuine childhood fun (of any age). It may be fun outdoors, jumping in puddles, nature hunts, riding bikes or making mud pies. Or it may be fun indoors with arts and crafts, making dens, cooking, messy play or reading. Or how about visiting a farm or fun at a fete. Or a discussion about kids growing up too fast, etc.
Whatever basic fun you have been having or discussing, link up and share your ideas, visit others to get inspiration, but most importantly, HAVE FUN!
This linky will open every Tuesday for 6 days, so there’s plenty of time to add your posts.
Please spread the word and grab my badge from my sidebar if possible.
If you tweet me your link (@karenattwinlife), I will happily retweet.
