I mean, yeah…
I grew up on a farm, if kids got too hype, they got chores.
If you keep a husky puppy locked up in an apartment all day, it’s gonna act out and destroy shit and be difficult.
Same thing with a human kid.
You gotta let them burn that energy kut, giving them an iPad isn’t going to make them tired.
The children yearn for the mines.
Trees and grass and other green things around you in the garden have a positive psychological effect. The feeling of having done something visible has a positive psychological effect. Getting a physical workout has a positive psychological effect.
I know yours is a humorous comment, but a child digging in a garden has nothing to do with them yearning to be an early-capitalism style child laborer.
Jesus dude, go touch some grass.
We all know it’s bad for children to work in mines, its a joke.
Hello Jesus dude. That’s kinda what I said, no?
Yeah, but you sucked all the fun out of a joke that no one was confused about in the first place.
Holes, a wildly popular movie about the very real problem of exploitative kids camps. And yet they persist…
Guessing it’s just the exercise? I feel more in control of my emotions after a nice long walk.
Human beings crave agency and usefulness, even the little humans and even in little ways.
I’m on the spectrum and digging a hole, diggy diggy hole. Diggy diggy hole!
So homeboy read holes right? Just needs to turn over a boat and hide peaches.
Hell yeah! I did this kind of thing a lot with my kids. Give them a backpack, a flip phone, lunch and drinks and tell them to go explore a hill visible from the house.
