[quote=Anonymous]So this is just his guess? It’s not very coherent. School has a lot of free play basically unsupervised time built into it, especially aftercare and before care. Basically the same as his ‘grandparent’ suggestion. Also There are lots of kids in Asia and in other parts of the world who have lots of chores or academic duties and who aren’t depressed. I hated free play as a kid. Some kids find their meaning in work/chores/helping the family. This guy is not very convincing and the interview is a word salad. ‘Go outside you will be happier!’ Sometimes that’s true, sometimes not. [/quote]
