I am fortunate to live in an area where the local community is trying to promote kids being outdoors. The schools have partnered with the local community farm to raise gardens with the kids, and a recent push from parents increased the time kids have for recess in elementary school and added outdoor time in middle school. Electronics have taken over so much that it is scary and definitely affecting kids' development.Indiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004102653896371835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-71633423658840256342018-05-25T18:08:01.546-05:002018-05-25T18:08:01.546-05:00This guy (gal??) sort of reminds me of the cup pla...This guy (gal??) sort of reminds me of the cup plant, but hairier ;). Wholeheartedly agree with you on the need to enlighten the next generation on the wonders of nature - just put down that phone (ipad, laptop, remote, xbox controller...) and go outside! When I was a kid, my punishment would often be not being able to go outside to play with friends - these days, it sometimes seems as if going outside IS the punishment when they do so grudgingly.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-56873668638106021492018-05-24T20:58:58.342-05:002018-05-24T20:58:58.342-05:00Sounds like my kind of plant!

Some of my most rewarding times with my grandchildren have been in outdoor or plant-related situations including my garden. I attended an excellent program last year entitled “Becoming a naturalist in a child’s life” and they cited many of the facts you mentioned regarding screen time versus outdoor time. <br />Hairy leafcup is such an interesting wildflower with those huge leaves. I have never heard of it before. Do you grow it in your garden?
