Ten Things We Did As Children That Would Get You In Big Trouble Today

#3. PLAYING DODGEBALL

Stop pressuring our children with this institutionalized bullying!

My kids love playing Punch Buggy whenever we’re in the car together. Remember that one?

“Punch Buggy Yellow!”, WHACK!

I’m certain that it isn’t an approved travel game in most families today. Just a hunch.

Another childhood favorite that has become a major “no-no” is Dodgeball. It’s mostly banned in school playgrounds because they claim it to be some sort of “institutionalized bullying”. Who says the bully wins, anyway? Wasn’t the best part the ability to get away with pegging that kid that had been bothering you all year-long and getting away with it? The satisfaction of wiping the smirk off his face with that maroon-colored rubber ball?

I digress.

I never would have thought to feel humiliated about this competitive sport, unless some over-bearing adult said so. Making hyperbolic claims that a sport would traumatize a child is not only crazy and irrational, but it is hurting more than it is helping. Just stop the nonsense.I don’t know anyone who doesn’t hold some sort of fond memory of this game. If you are one of the few who loathed it, I’m guessing you just weren’t very good at it.

So, have your little rebels play Duck, Duck, Goose, engage in a Snowball Fight, and start-up a round of Musical Chairs with their friends. None of which are deemed “appropriate” in a child’s world today.
