[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son talks constantly but it’s online while they are doing something, like playing a video game or doing something online together.  If they are in person together in the car or at the bus stop they are all on their phones.   He’s a teen and he’s rarely out socially with his friends if it’s not at sports practice.  [/quote]

Ok this is strange. I have daughters and it’s completely different. I know males aren’t huge talkers biologically, but this lack of face-to-face talking can’t be good. [/quote]

I also have a daughter so I understand what you mean.  I often ask my husband about it and he tells me they are normal teens and just not talking when adults are around.   Maybe that’s true and why they text, so we don’t hear their conversations. [/quote]

Actually, this is a good point. They definitely are talking via phones to censor their convo in front of adults. Which is....completely normal I guess. But they seem to lack the ability to engage with each other in front of adults as well like we used to.

There were always convos you had with your friends outside of adults' hearing, but you also still knew how to engage with each other when adults were present. Gen Z seems to lack that.[/quote]
