Growing up in the suburbs of Long Island New York was a dream come-true for a child who loves to be outside and experience the beauty life has to offer. I was a pretty active child, always playing outside whether it was with my best friend who lived across the street, or by myself getting lost in daydreams as I climbed trees and played in my mother's vast garden.
So many kids these days miss out on memories like mine due to the rise in electronics. Kids would rather come home from school and stay glued to their ipads and tv rather than get outside and expand their minds. It makes me sad knowing kids are becoming less and less active as time progresses, and it makes me fear for the future.
I wonder what the long term effects are of excessive electronics use, especially in children.
Let me know what you all think :)
