Love it! Yes, this definitely applies to kids too. It has been a bit of an uphill battle with my five kids. They live in an over-stimulating world. Still, it is exciting to see what they come up with when given the space and freedom. Thanks for stopping by and bringing up that great point.

The world is definitely over stimulating. We are now at the point of scheduling almost nothing, and that helps. It's so good for them to connect with what they really want.
Well good for you, because that is not always easy to do! We are in some activities, but try to minimize it, or to at least group them. Our kids are close enough in age that they can often do the same thing at the same time.
Well, it's made easier for us because we live in the jungle. Not much going in these parts. There's a tourist town where a couple things are happening, but it's an hour drive plus a boat ride or a two hour drive. Just not worth it.
Haha, yeah I imagine that would make it a little easier! Almost feels like cheating ;P
Where is this jungle that you live in? And I'm with you on the trek not being worth it.
It does feel like cheating sometimes. We live in Belize in a little village called Monkey River Town. We've been here almost 3 years but are thinking of moving to a slightly larger and less remote village called Hopkins.
I just googled some images of both of those. They looked splendidly delightful. I do see what you mean about Hopkins being a larger with less of a remote village feel. Cheers to you!
Yeah. There's a coffee shop, an ice cream place, even a tea house. In fact we went to visit recently because my 16 yo wanted to get her first tattoo. I'm excited for more to do and faster internet.
