Playgrounds used to be different, back in the day. I suppose one would feel a certain sense of nostalgia for the playgrounds of our youth, but you've noticed how they've changed, right? Gravel gave way to woodchips and woodchips to ground up tires- heights were dropped, corners rounded off and everything became carefully safe.
I've hated the trend for awhile now- and it turns out, I'm not the only one. I think bumps, bruises and falls are part of growing up. You don't know fear until you look down halfway across the monkey bars and see gravel below...
And learning how to deal with fear is part of growing up...
