Read Aloud Books and Other Old-Fashioned Activities

February 6th, 2012

Are you encountering a generation gap with your kids? And is it an electrically charged one? Everywhere I look I see people, especially kids, with things sticking out of their ears, held in their hands, and strapped on their backs, and most of them are electronic in nature. For those of us who are not caught up in the technology explosion, how are we supposed to compete with that?

Well, I don’t think we can. But what we can do is try to teach our kids some of the “old-fashioned” things we enjoy. Things like making cookies from scratch, building things with our hands, read aloud books, going for a walk, singing old folk songs, and other such things.

The truth is, most children love those things if somebody will just show them. Don’t let the technology explosion snatch up your kids without them knowing the joy of doing things the old way. It’s good for their development, imagination, intellect, and self esteem.

Then I wrote about where the best sunsets in the world are located that artist could visit as subject matter for their sunset wall art.
