Toni was not listed as liking to watch tv Do you think children spend too much time using electronics instead of playing with more traditional toys like balls and jump ropes? Will this book help encourage children to play without electronics and enjoy outdoor activities? Toni was even reading his books outside.

I think though some parents can encorage their kids to do more physical things, some might still object to this.Mjgarrison wrote: ↑02 Jul 2018, 01:20 I definitely think children spend way to much time on electronics and I hope this story along with some encouragement from parents will get them outside doing more physical activities.

I think all interests should be encouraged and nurtured. If a child likes watching movies discuss the movies afterwards, act them out, or have them write/tell their own version.

I have seen kids sit in the same room and text each other instead of talking to each other. I hope that reading this book and some good examples set by parents will encourage children to play outdoors instead of in the house all day.

But I applaud the author for giving us such a superhero who isn't plugged in, who knows how to work and play with friends and family. I do think that most children spend too much time with computers and television. But I also think it's largely their parents' fault. If you don't limit your child's device time or play with them (inside or out), or read to them, or encourage them to do other activities, of course they might be more likely to plug in for entertainment.

This book is definitely good for encouraging movement and non-electronic play!
Charlaigne wrote: ↑05 Jul 2018, 00:31 Good pick up about Toni not being on some electronic device. My nephews and niece are familiar with electronic devices but also enjoy their legos and books. I think this is because their dad, their grandmother and myself make a concerted effort not to be stuck on an electronic device for too long. Their mother is another story. She's always on Facebook. We try to counteract her behaviour.
kfwilson, I hope your nephew can find someone else to play legos with him. So sad! We would be more than happy to

It happens that nowadays most kids prefer staying indoors in front of televisions or Video games. These habits may make the children be antisocial and also be detrimental to their health as well. It is good that kids learn that they can also have fun outside the house.
Yes , it is true that the negative effect of electronics can be limited but it will require two things for that to work: A disciplined parent and an obedient child.abeerashafique98 wrote: ↑05 Jul 2018, 07:37 In the modern era kids ate highly influenced by electronics but under the right supervision the negative effect can be eliminated ipads and iphones can also be used for educational pusposes but ofcourse the joy of playing outside has its own perks children should be encouraged to play outside and spend time in healthy activities
