[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a lot of defensive on this thread. 5 and 7 too far apart to play? Why? My 12 year old plays happily with her 5 year old cousin. When they aren’t on screens (because during a 3 day visit screens do happen, but a movie we all watch together) they are silly and creative and there’s a ton of laughter. I agree that nose in screens can really detract from bonding, it’s kind of sad.[/quote] What's "kind of sad" are smug parents who really care more about shoulds and musts than finding real ways to connect. I play Wii with my nephew and nieces. That leads to other opportunities for fun and connecting with them. If I just stuck my nose in the air and said screens are bad, we wouldn't have much to build on.[/quote]
