[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a small town. Basically Mayberry from the Andy Griffiths show.  Basically me, my brother, and a redneck bully down the street that I only ran into a few times a year and normally was friends with.   I had books, three channels in TV, my bike, sports gear, fishing rods, etc.  The schools were in the next town over, so I would go months without seeing other kids except at church and they were usually too little.

No one seemed to be care about play dates, keeping kids busy, exercise and all that stuff.

Maybe I am remembering everything with rose colored glasses and just grew up different form others.  But tons of kids grow up like this if you don’t grow up in the suburbs and they manage just fine.

My 10 year old daughter seems to be very happy at the house readIng, writing, working on hobbies, being outside with us.  Yeah, she is happier when there is a friend to play with, but she seems happy as a clam right now.

Am I missing something?  I don’t mind the fact she is not dependably in BFF’s and such.  She doesnt either.[/quote]

Most of the people who post here have a ton of social anxiety, and so their kids have inherited the same from them. They are hoping that socialization will make things better. [/quote]
