#MomBizMondays: The importance of play in raising independent kids
What happens when a serial entrepreneur puts his focus on raising healthy, self-reliant kids? He might write a book about it. Or he might start a movement that promotes this philosophy. And you never know: He might turn his neighborhood into a Playborhood.
- Last night's #MomBizMondays twitter party was sponsored by Mike Lanza, the dad behind the book: Playborhood: Turn Your Neighborhood into a Place for Play. Our conversation was, as always, a lively one, since it touched on some core parenting philosophies and mindsets. Read through the blog posts, links, questions and answers from our talk last night to determine where you stand on the importance of "free play" in our children's lives.

RT @biztrainher: RT @Playborhood – Q1: HOW MANY DAYS A WEEK DO YOUR KIDS HAVE FREE, UNSCHEDULED TIME AFTER SCHOOL? #MomBizMondays
@MomBizRetreat @Playborhood Our children love playing in yard, neighbourhood&park in all seasons when it's okay temp outside. #MomBizMondays
@only1golda @playborhood A1: Currently five but that changes when sports are in play.
Letting kids play creates self-reliance. If left alone can repeat an activity and repeat it and repeat it, independently. #mombizmondays
RT @Playborhood – Q2: DURING THIS FREE TIME, DO YOU LET YOUR KIDS GO OUTSIDE? WHAT LIMITS DO YOU SET? #MomBizMondays
true! Playing in the rain=fun! @playborhood @MariahHumphries often, it's parents who discourage kids when it's cold or rainy. #mombizmondays
"@biztrainher: RT @playborhood – Q2: in the summer theyre outside all the time, riding their bikes on the driveway #MomBizMondays"- RT @playborhood: Homework has never been proven to have any correlation to academic performance in elementary school... #mombizmondays
- RT @playborhood: If their environment has lots of opportunities to play, they'll get used to inventing their own fun. #mombizmondays
RT @Playborhood – Q3: DO YOU SPEND TIME IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD CHATTING AND WALKING AROUND WITH YOUR KIDS? #mombizmondays
@playborhood It's difficult getting to know people when you're moving so often. But I try. #mombizmondays
@playborhood A3: I'm not the standard - No neighbors (except inlaws 1/2 mile away). Kids have dogs, cows & horses to look at #mombizmondays- RT @playborhood: A3 Its *really* important for kids to know that we parents value our neighborhood and neighbors. #mombizmondays

RT @Playborhood – Q4: HOW CAN YOU GET YOUR KIDS TO WANT TO SPEND TIME OUTSIDE, IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD? #MomBizMondays- RT @playborhood: A4 That's a huge challenge. You need to make your yard or some other very nearby place into a sort of Cheers for kids. #mombizmondays
- RT @playborhood: A4 It's all about making your neighborhood into a place where kids *choose* to be over TV, video games, Internet, etc. #mombizmondays
