[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, i think kids can grow apart. My kids are ones who think fondly of their childhood friends so I have taken them to some group gatherings that happened recently only to have the other teens on their phones the whole time texting and snappng with their actual friends. I didn't expect them to be best friends but I thought they could at least exchange a few words to show interest in someone they used to be close to. I told my kids after that experience that they didn't have to come any more to these gatherings. [/quote] Phones are terrible for this. I'm a PP who grew up with a lot of family friends and we all interacted even if we kids weren't BFFs. Playing games, even watching a movie together is a collective activity. Being in touch with people outside your physical ambit 24/7 is corrosive in so many ways and yours is just one example.[/quote]
