How To Raise Your Child Outside

In a random "poll" I did with the children last week, there were many who had watched TV on a weeknight and who watch TV, use an electronic device, and or have a TV in their room that was also the same children who had trouble finding work and being settled that day.  I realize this is not a study, but merely an observation of mine, but it's rather interesting. I then asked who played outside and it truly was those children that had dedicated and focused work that morning. 

So, with that, I want to leave you with some wonderful websites and some reading to do at your leisure.
