[quote=Anonymous]Op, we have same situations here. I think it really is up to the parents. My 6yo will have friends over --whose parents always entertain them and give them the latest and greatest -- and they are not entertained by our basement full of imaginative toys and they keep popping back upstairs to try to get me to entertain them, tell me, "I'm boooooored!" or, "I'm hungry!" However, even my 11yo (less and less so, but still!) will still lose herself more often than she would like to admit in imaginative play with her younger 6yo sis. So, try to align yourself with similarly minded parents, who do not provide their children with the latest bells and whistles all the time. Remember, the simpler the toy, the more creativity the child brings to the table. Your kids will be better off in the long run! Stay the course! : )[/quote]
