Instead of buying your child a boring old iPad for Christmas, get them a stick :
. Wild Network is urging parents to encourage children to play with nature and the outdoors rather than technology
. With sales of tablets, smartphones and gadgets predicted to soar this Christmas, many British households will soon be temples to the latest technology.
. But parents are now being asked to consider a low-tech alternative – to root around in the back garden and give their children a stick or a stone instead, in place of the latest smartphone, and to swap "screen time" for "wild time".
. "easy to pick up, perform a thousand different uses and can be thrown away as easily as you found it. Great for helping with imaginary games, playing Pooh sticks, building things."
My opinion : Although technology can be harmful for kids, picking up sticks and throwing them around can be harmful too.
