[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I am very strict with screen time ( less than one hour a day for my kids), But when they’re outside playing together there’s literally no other kids in the neighborhood outside playing… I guess they’re all inside on their iPads or phones. My kids get bored playing with each other after a while, and I was just hoping more friends would be involved to keep outside play going longer. -OP[/quote] Don't be so obnoxious. My DD doesn't like to play outside. She'd always rather sit at her little table and do art, or read to the dog, or make jewelry, or help me in the kitchen, or play pretend Office, etc. She's not zoning out on a screen like you assumed. If someone came by to see if we had any kids for them to play with, I'd offer her up. But she'd invite you in to play. [/quote] +1. My kids play outside quite a bit, but when they are inside they are not just on screens. They have built a dinosaur habitat that they play with, they do legos and Keva plank building, art projects, read books, and we have a mini trampoline and a bounce house in our basement. They don’t have trouble keeping busy. [/quote]
