The author recounts the decision to leave a city for a small town in Utah to provide a better childhood for their children. Living in a city with over 700,000 residents seemed limiting, especially after observing the constrained experiences of city kids. After moving to a town with just 2,000 residents, the author feels that their children now have opportunities for adventure and connection to family, fostering resilience in a supportive environment. The choice is validated through seven years of experience in their new hometown.
Much of their lives were a seemingly endless loop of carpools, homework, canned activities, and video games. Where was the adventure, I'd wonder.
When we moved, the idea that our kids would grow up better in a small town was just a hypothesis. Now that we've been here for seven years, I can confidently say we made the right choice.
