Reflecting on the courage it took my new preschoolers to walk into a big school along with 38 other children and their families for Meet and Greet tonight. Their strength and determination makes my cliff jumping into Lake Superior look like a cake walk.

Organized sports are NOT play! Exercise? Yes, but are adult run, not child lead. Give the gift/freedom to play. Kids will learn autonomy, sharing, and equality, all gifts society needs. Peter Gray's Free to Learn
