The days have been long and honestly I am exhausted by the constant uphill battle against these systems. We need to reach five hundred signatures to force them to look at us again so please get this in front of anyone who still cares about the nature of childhood.

So glad someone is finally saying this. School start ages are way to early and its ruining the magic of being little.
bring back mud and trees. kids need to get dirty to learn stuff.
The pressure on these little ones is crazy. Just let them play.
Stop marketing junk to 5 year olds. Keep the commercials out of the cartoons.
TOTALY AGREE. my grandkids dont even play with toys anymore its all ipads and homework and stress. let them be kids!!

Kids are being forced to grow up way too fast these days. They should be playing outside not staring at tablets all day.
