Foster Slaughter

This clip is going viral right now A kid at his t-ball game decides to somersault to home plate rather than run This is exactly what I mean when I say "let your kids jump in mud puddles" This is what it looks like when we allow our boys to use their innate energy, creativity, and curiosity for life in healthy ways It reminds me of when I was a boy, I had a kid on one of my t-ball teams who spent the whole game walking the chalk lines, tracing them with his steps, oblivious to whatever was actually happening in the game Nobody told him to stop, nobody scolded him. Everybody just accepted he was probably never going to ba an MLB draft pick. He grew up to be a talented engineer (shocker lol) My advice to parents is to encourage this type of creativity. Build your kids up. Help them understand that yes rules do matter, but you can always find your own creative path home
