[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate what childhood has become today with all the endless time on electronics, lack of independence and constant activities and sports. I’d love to give my kids a more fun, carefree, 90’s style childhood that I grew up with. Anyone feel similarly and what are you doing to make it happen?[/quote] Plenty of kids in the 90s were on electronics all day (video games, very scary chat rooms) or overscheduled with constant activities and sports. You can make better choices without nostalgia for a past that didn't really exist. The best thing for independence and unstructured play is living in a housing-dense area with good public transit and retail/amenities in walking distance. The tradeoff is almost always a smaller house, small or no yard, and more mixed-income schools.[/quote]
