Do your give your boys outside fun? Where are they spending the bulk of their day?
Are you giving your boys outside fun throughout their school day? Or do they spend most of their time sitting inside with their
noses in books, staring at the TV and watching a computer screen?
Remember being a kid and riding your bike all day long? Or building forts out in the woods? Or picking berries and being gone
for hours until we finally had to go home for food or we thought we’d starve!?!
Today’s generation of children is growing up very differently than we did. According to the CDC, children are six times more
likely to play a video game on a typical day than to ride a bike. This type of behavior is having an impact on their bodies and on
their brains.
One of the great things about homeschooling boys is that we have complete freedom in how we spend our time throughout the day.
And not just during the summer, either.
There are several great ways to give our boys outside fun and active learning throughout the school year:
And nothing can replace some unstructured time spent outside digging in the dirt, exploring a creek, riding a bike, etc. Boys love
to explore and this is an activity that should definitely be encouraged. With a little bit of thought, you can really enhance your
son’s education by giving your boys outside fun and incorporating active learning into his day.
