What do you remember about your childhood ? I have good memories of exploring the fields near my house and riding my bike around the park . Today , children don’t spend enough time in the fresh air . Many of them fix their eyes on a screen either on a computer , or a TV ---they seem to be living in a virtual world . They have lost touch with nature .
Now 400 organizations in the UK are encouraging children to have some “wild time” . They want kids to exchange at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside . The simple pleasures of exploring and discovering nature help children to learn and keep fit too . Andy Simpson , who is part of the campaign , says: “An extra 30 minutes of wild time every day for all under 12-year-olds in the UK would be the equivalent(同等) of just three months of their childhood spent outdoors .” Even if the kids live in a city , they can go on adventures in the garden or the park . However , children often need a helping hand from mum and dad . They need to be shown what to do and where to go .
So despite the complex world that young people grow up in now , it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “nature’s playground ” is what modern need . Andy Simpson adds: “We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ development , independence and creativity , by giving wild time a go ” . David Bond from Project Wild Thing says “we need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine , freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted ” .
