There is a middle ground between locking your kids indoors and letting them roam feral riding on the top of trains and tagging buildings.

And that is to be an active parent and go camping, hunting, fishing with kids. Geocaching, bushwalking, kayaking, long distance bike rides etc.

These are some good starting lists: http://www.natureplaysa.org.au/resources/2/51-things-to-do-b... https://www.50things.org.uk/activity-list.aspx
