Well, I have to say from my own experience, things have changed mightly for children in Bermuda as well. I grew up...in the country...don't laugh...on the beach and it was very idylic, we rode our bikes all over the neighborhood and went swimming and fishing, catching tadpoles, exploring everywhere. Now adays there just isn't much room in Bermuda, I don't even like walking down the road with my son for fear that he will get run over. We are certaianly a wealthier generation by far, but there's just no space anywhere anymore for children to be children unless they are fenced off in our own backyards...which are tiny as well! One of my main motivating factors for moving to NZ is to try and give Lucas some of the freedom that I enjoyed as a child with a wealth of opportunities to play a variety of sports and explore...
