One of the best things we adults can do for our kids, a lot of the time.
Yep. I did a lot of free range with my kids and am raising my granddaughter, who will see the same.
The other thing we can do is bring them a lot of hands on experiences. Doing stuff.
Both are high value.
In my case, it was programming 8 bit computers and yakking on the CB net a friend and I had setup. We had about 20 people on it at one point. Adults tuned in regularly to listen to us kids talk about all kinds of shit.
Amazingly, they left us alone.
