Let kids be kids linky 27/5/14
This is a linky all about letting kids be kids, getting back to basics and having great childhood fun. We live in such a fast paced modern world with so much technology and stresses round every corner, we often need to be reminded to just ‘play’ and have fun, it’s healthy for us all (yes, that includes you parents!).
Please join me in spreading the word, for encouraging children to step away from the technology for a while and go out, run around, use their imaginations and just have general basic FUN!
Thank you again to everyone who joined in last week, it was great to read all your posts. There was a fab post from Adventures of Adam, playing in the rain, it’s great the way rain doesn’t seem to matter when you’re 2! I love the idea of this mashed potato sensory play, so simple, via Great British Family and I always enjoy reading about children having fun in nature’s playground, like this post via The Boy and me.
Last week we enjoyed a nature themed week, there were some great ideas, so please check it out for some inspiration. I also got the opportunity to experience a wonderful day at Aqua Sana Spa, thanks to becoming a Center Parcs family blogger ambassador. This week, we are enjoying some fairy and wizard themed play and fun.
There’s not many rules, just link up your posts (screen free), 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 children 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 and comment on as many as you can to give each other encouragement and support, 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 if possible from my sidebar.
If you tweet me your link (@karenattwinlife), I will happily retweet.

Although a little abstract my post is about embracing kids for who they are, not labelling unnecessarily and recognising the difference between real “problems” and challenging behaviour.
