Let the Kids Run Wild
April 30, 2008
Hope is like a road in the country: there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence.

In talking about her campaign to instill the wildlife experience in other people, she shared this story...
"I was visiting a butterfly sanctuary in another country and there was a woman who, as a butterfly flew by dodged it, like it was flying at her. I thought 'wow we're getting far from wildlife.' If you're afraid of a butterfly, we're in trouble here.
"It's exciting in New Zealand because so many people get their kids out to experience nature and to learn not to be afraid of it."

I agree with the writer but now a days more television channels and electronic games targeting young kids have made it almost impossible for children to have any thrust for out door activities..But Yes! We must encourage kids to have a habit for out door.And once they are exposed to nature , I am sure they would like to explore more.
