I didn't have a car, so their behavior suited our lives. I calculated time to look at plants and teach them the letters on the signs.<br /><br />That was our life. If you have no choice or it's important to you, your kids will learn to enjoy it.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476955.post-26723465691542426372009-05-12T19:24:00.000+03:002009-05-12T19:24:00.000+03:00Although in theory I totally agree with you in pra...Although in theory I totally agree with you in practice I'm one of those who drives short distances. There is a very good reason for it. Usually it happens when I'm with my three kids. Although it's a pain to buckle them all in their carseats and it takes at least 5 minutes, it's a lot easier and therefore faster than walking with them. They can daydream or walk the wrong way. Sometimes they are tired and won't walk anymore. Sometimes my middle child who is three wants to sit in the stroller instead of my seven month old. So many problems can arise. When I'm pressed for time and don't want everyone wandering off, I usually take the car to make my life easier. Yea, I know it's rotten for the environment but as the weather gets better I'll be doing it less and walking just to give the kids something to do.BBhttp://www.thekillerbeees.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
