Danette’s Reviews > Let Them Be Kids: Adventure, Boredom, Innocence, and Other Gifts Children Need > Status Update

So when I proclaim, “Let them be kids!” it is mostly NOT passive. It is NOT an exhausted resigning of duties, a last-gasp, fizzling at the end of day, free-range, unsupervised, “Oh, what the heck…” free-for-all. To let them be kids, we must be adults. When we let them be kids, we are the gardeners working faithfully so childhood can grow. And our work is worth it.
