If you watch the documentary on Cas Holman, it makes you think about the kinds of activities children are doing. Many of us grew up going into woods and fields and making "toys and tools" from what we found. We had to use imagination and creativity more. Holman makes her structures around the same concept since kids cannot go wandering around anymore. I think free time has changed and therefore impacts imagination. Hours on video games or just connecting on social media instead of being out and about. During covid, DD met one of her friends that lives in the hood, once a week to run along the boardwalk, and along the lake. Just to get out in nature. Just to chat like teenage girls do. I think the impact of a year of non socializing, and particularly with young children, not interacting and playing is going to have long term implications on society.
