[ music ] >> reporter: rowcliff runs the village well where the kids are free range and so are their parents.
6:15 pm
>> one of the principles of slow parenting is that we give our children life, but we are not their life. >> reporter: the goal don't micro-manage your kids and that unstructured play is a natural part of childhood. here children are allowed to explore their own world at their own pace as their parents watch. >> this space allows me to join her world rather than her always being in my world. >> reporter: part of slow parenting means turning off your smart phone and all of the multi-tasking that goes with it. >> it's nice, nice to be able to put your phone down. >> less is more. >> reporter: psychotherapist julie frog says slow parenting is a welcome tonic to today's fast-paced hyperparenting robs children of the ability to problem solve, think for themselves and develop social skills. >> so that's another effect of always being on the go is not relating to your child. if you are not relating to your child, your child sent going to learn how to relate to others. >> reporter: for the advocates of slow parenting, the best

advantage you can give your kids is to let them be kids. >> she likes her own things. she doesn't like to be pushed around. >> that's my philosophy. >> timing is everything. >> allowing your children to figure out what they like themselves. >> now, many people believe they are doing the best for their kids by shuttling them around to soccer and piano and ballet, gymnastics lessons. but it might be the best thing for parents if they, too, slow down and become as free range as their kids. >> wow, that's so old school. >> so old school. [ laughter ] >> so old it makes sense. >> wouldn't you just love to sit and play with wooden blocks? wouldn't we all. >> well, you know, that's how we were raised. >> it worked. >> let's go back to it. >> go back. >> thanks, kim. >> free range. roberta has been free range. we can't get you back on the range. >> unstructured play time my hats off to my management because that's what they call it in my weather center, right? let roberta go she has unstructured play time now and this is what i come up with.
