Real life, offline, there's really nothing like it!
Though it may be hard to believe, prior to steemit I never really spent much time online at all. Unfortunately, I think that far too many spend far too much on time, and these days many children have a hard time once they are no longer staring at a screen. Be it television, computers, smart phones, video games, or tablets, a lot of little faces see far too many pixels and are disconnected from the real world passing by all round us.
REAL LIFE!
Thankfully, we can choose how to live and what to do. Our @little-peppers rarely watch movies, pretty much never watch television, and when we take long family trips in the car, they either talk, look at books, or look out the window. We figured that as soon as they had a DVD player or tablet to look at, they'd never be content without one, so we avoided that all together. A twenty nine hour drive from central Wisconsin to south Texas can be long, but there is something to be said for being content and patient too.
Recently we've been having a blast offline. Fun, spunky little goat kids can do that to you. I wish that I was better at capturing the images and gifs, but I'll still share what I do get.
I think it is interesting to remember how many games exist where you can farm or garden. Trust me, they pale in comparison to actually doing it and actually living it. Truth be told, there is no app for this. Just look at how spontaneously random these kids react to seemingly nothing and begin jumping around.
I know that not everyone has the opportunity to live the lifestyle that we've chosen, and it took a lot of work to get us where we are today. I'm not trying to badmouth anyone or any lifestyle, but rather to encourage others. There is still a real world out there, so don't get too disconnected. Take the time to feed the ducks down by the river, watch the birds at the bird feeder, or take a walk in the woods.
Also, if you are more limited with your mobility, feel free to enjoy these photos and gifs for what they are worth. We don't mind if you live vicariously. Just look at how much wild fun it is! Long before we ever had any little goats of our own, we stopped in at a farm and got to enjoy it all without actually having the animals. I'd highly recommend that for anyone, but especially for those of you with children. It's really worth it!
If you've never had the pleasure to watch little goats kids with their interesting antics, you really should sometime. Perhaps I'll try to make a video in the future, but these gifs will show you a bit of it. Honestly, I'm glad that I can take these real life experiences and share them digitally online too! They will probably at least make you smile, if not laugh out loud.
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
proof-of-real-life
Until next time…

Yes, you have a point there. In this modern and materlistic world we have become so busy that we have forgotten how to live and love.
We have destroyed nature, we are cutting trees and we are fighting with each other.
Excess of everything is dangerous but sometimes we have to watch television and use gadgets otherwise we will be left behind from others.
It has both aspects.

I love the goats! Cute, good with kids and very low maintenance. We currently have 7 and plan on 5 more. Here in the Philippines we hope to make it into a ministry to the very poor. Our area has almost no dairy. We give a young doe to a family. When she has her first litter (not sure of the terminology with goats) they give one of the babies back to us for a future family. The new owner can sell the kids for around $30 USD. They can drink the milk. I plan on trying my hand at cheese.

Excellent your comment. I am new to this community and I am very happy to know that there are people who really value the most important things in life: what you can't buy with money. Love, family, sincere friendship, health, faith and trust in GOD and the healthy enjoyment of what He has given us through nature. Today with so much career in life for obtaining material goods, for using telephones, tablets, computers, etc.., We have forgotten to live a full life and for that we do not require much money or material goods, we need to know how to enjoy the miracles that happen around us at every moment (a beautiful sunrise, a beautiful full moon, a singing bird, a blue or cloudy sky, trees, flowers and a long etc.) and we do not enjoy them because we are distracted. Excellent your reflection because the human being, instead of taking care of and enjoying nature, is unfortunately destroying the planet that serves as a home for all of us!!

I confess I'm one of the people you describe as having modified her brain into that search for fast and easy comfort. Even though I like to think and read, my brain refuses to do it unless I force it to. I've used Steemit a lot for this. I for one write poems, so I also travel the poetry tag and read poems and comment on them. Sometimes, I use the poems on Steemit to inspire myself to write my own lol. So I post them as comments and then post them as full posts. It feels like cheating sometimes but it works lol.
Right now I'm reading my first e-book in some months. I'm very proud. Steemit helped me achieve this. I don't think I could have achieved it on my own. I even go to the gym and exercise, I spend time away from the screen, but I was accustomed to not thinking, to talking to people, to finding quick satisfaction in my activities. Drawing a quick picture, writing a quick story.
After I finish this light e-book, I want to go for some classics. I hope my mind will let me. :)

Wow! This is parenting done right. I'm really lucky to have a childhood without tablets or phones. It has to do mainly with the time I was born. I think the 90s kids were the last generation who actually lived their childhood! After that it's like the childhood phase is completely deleted from every kid. Little Peppers are really lucky to be able to have such a childhood even in these times.
Cheers!

Wauhhh......some times I wonder how people live in the U.S.A or Europe. In Africa, we live in a community "UBUNTU" a community of sharing and living with others. We only have only one definition of life" eating,playing,dancing and crying with others. Technology has started separated us from the society which has a negative effect to the future generation. Actually, I only knew my real brothers when I was 5 years old, and everyone was many . Everyone gave me food and everything I needed. I long to go back to my village (Rwanda) and remake that life

I sometimes wish there's a limit for us to use electronic devices everyday, devices will turn themselves off or something like that. People are way more comfortable staying online then engaging in a conversation. Not only kids, adults too, should spend more time offline to really live. Otherwise we are just devices' slaves.

Awesome real life. Greater percentage of the younger population in the world miss a lot the natural games due to either lack of time by the parents to their children, small environment they live in , lack of interest, resources or a multiple of those and many more. In most developing countries like Uganda, many parents hardly send time with their children, they are raised by the help of the nuns or house helpers who in most cases have house dueties to acomplish in time and they also have life to lead out of work. So they tend to tunne TVs or also on social media platforms. And in this situation, the children's creativity may not be as superb as for the children more exposed and not confined within the houses.

I love how you said there is a real world out there, we shouldn't get too disconnected. Here is my son.
He was so excited on this day. We were at my uncles plot where he has a few animals roaming around. My son's silence at that particular time worried us as hes the loudest in the whole family! I was on my way out to check on him only to bump into him and his new friend in the kitchen. He looked up at me and first thing he said was "look im sharing mommy". I just melted. I realised he knew exactly what a goat was because he's learnt that at school... but the experience of being so close and interacting with it was so interesting to watch. We live in the city of Pretoria. (Not much nature so we take him out of that as often as possible) He is also an outdoor child and luckily has parents that can keep up with his kind of energy and curiosity. Im such a fan of children, and I agree that we need to keep them outdoors experiencing what life has to offer. Its hard with today's life... but like you mentioned... WE ACTUALLY HAVE A CHOICE ON THE LIFESTYLE WE CHOOSE.

This gifs and photos are a joy to see. The children are being given the chance to be children, to live life to the fullest. Many children today are attached to electronics and don't know how to interact with the real world, which is sad. Children should be allowed to grow up at their own pace. Not through video games and movies that expose them to the adult world when they are not ready.

When I see your post, it reminds me of my childhood. The innocence as kids, running around and not being scared of anything. Going into the woods, be away from home for hours without a mobile phone. Taking our bikes and be gone.
It's a pity that most kids nowadays can no longer enjoy that freedom.
I'm happy to see you're able to live like that.
Enjoy it.

These gadgets have bettered our lives in one way or the other and that's why I'll never say these gadgets are curse because they've helped us immensely. But, there's a thing called 'moderation' and it should be the order of the day in anything we do.
But still you deciding not to use them at all will make you outdated and not knowing what's happening in your society and when one talks people will wonder what planet He/She is from.

I never said that we do not use them, it's just that my children are ages seven and below. They can still use a computer or operate a DVD player, they just do not do such things all day long. You can see my online presence here throughout the day every day too, so obviously I use technology.
Moderation is key. We need balance. Far too many are becoming very disconnected from a lot of real things in the world and have settles into a digital existence. I was just recommending that they unplug once in a while, not forever, if that makes sense.
Thank you for your comment and for taking the time to read my post.

Yes I agree with what you think and instill a social sense of the children to the natural surroundings because now we find that many children no longer care about social life because parents or older adults do not forbid playing gedget, tab and preferring to spend time in the house rather than spending time out with friends or family. it is very sad if we leave it too long. over time he will not have kinship spirit with his neighbor, with this post I hope that children should not be too often in the house, introduce with the natural surroundings, because with him to recognize the nature around to make children get a lot of knowledge and have social soul, thank you, good luck

Good morning! I am new to Steemit and my mother tongue is Spanish. However, I clearly understand the essence of your reflection. The important thing is to enjoy nature as a family, that our children spend less time in front of a computer or video game and enjoy all the wonders that nature has to offer.
